Description
The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett is the eleventh studio album by Eels, released on April 21, 2014. The album is a deeply personal and introspective work, reflecting frontman Mark Oliver Everett’s emotional struggles and regrets. Unlike the high-energy rock of previous Eels releases, this album embraces a more delicate, orchestral sound, featuring instruments like cello, viola, bassoon, and glockenspiel. Everett described the album as a musical version of a personal transformation, hoping it could serve as an example for others to learn from his mistakes. It’s a raw, intimate listen, blending folk rock and chamber pop elements with deeply reflective lyrics.
