Eels : 'My Timing Is Off'/'Fresh Blood'

Eels : 'My Timing Is Off'/'Fresh Blood'

eels

New material from Eels is generally a cause for excitement I tend to find. Though, admittedly, my Eels experience over the previous years is woefully minimal, especially since my Ipod was stolen in November and I have been unable to afford a new one.

First track, 'My Timing Is Off', is another piece of Eels loveliness that gently meanders across three minutes, utilising a wonderful melodic lead guitar line and Mr. E’s almost drawled vocals. Eels at their, not quite, melodic best, but it is a fine piece nonetheless.

Second track, 'Fresh Blood', goes off on a typical tangent and opens up with a rumbling bassline with a simple and lethargic guitar line gently pulsating over the top, before the chorus drops and things get a little freaky.  As it hits, synths swirl, Mr. E howls at I’m not entirely sure what and all of a sudden you could be in the middle of a Can record. Bizarre and brilliant. As ever.
