Prior to fronting the '90s experimental indie rock band the Eels, a man called E (born Mark Everett) was making heavenly pop music on his own. This debut solo release contains typical quirky melodies and mind-boggling lyrics, but E hits upon lush harmonies similar to the likes of Elton John, the Beach Boys, and Paul McCartney. He is a perfectionist, playing every instrument and orchestrating all the material found on A Man Called E.He's a love-sick puppy, a hopeless romantic, and a daydreamer. Such drama is captured in album highlights "Hello Cruel World," "Are You and Me Gonna Happen?," and "E's Tune." His lyrical poetry is his therapy, a common talent found in later Eels material. But you have to appreciate E's effort. He's thoughtful and almost touching. He's real. Now that's pretty refreshing. -AMG

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for all the fantastic posts. The link on this one does not seem to be working though : is it only me ?
Cheers
Links should be ok! Thanks
ReplyDeleteLink now works. An artist I have yet to really listen to so I appeciate the opportunity to discover his work. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI put up the second album, Broken Toy Shop at another blog a while back. I've always preferred it to the first one, but that's mainly because I heard it first. They're both great.
