Eels' 2001 album Souljacker is a snarling, swaggering beast - part gutter-blues, part twisted lullaby. Produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey), it finds Mark Oliver Everett (E) trading the orchestral warmth of Daisies of the Galaxy for something sharper-edged, with jagged guitars, eerie loops, and lyrics that walk the line between menace and melancholy. From the unhinged stomp of "Dog Faced Boy" to the cinematic sweep of "Fresh Feeling", Souljacker is restless and unpredictable, channeling Tom Waits' grit, Beck's eccentricity, and the underbelly of American storytelling. This red vinyl reissue brings the album's dark heart back into the light.
