The Eels (band) were formed in 1995 when already-established pop starE was joined by Tommy Walter and Butch Norton and they released Beautiful freak, an underrated album, known too well for Novocaine for the soul , and not well enough for the other well-crafted songs on it (including the fantastic title track). The band reemerged with 1998 s Electro-shock blues, dealing with E s feelings about mortality, specifically the suicide of a sibling and the death of his mother, from cancer. A third album, Daisies of the Galaxy is was released March 14, 2000. It s happier and more upbeat, supposedly. And, incidently, is the first album I know of with the first single as a bonus track!
