Eels - Electroshock Blues

Facts Originally released in 1998, Electro-Shock Blues is widely regarded as the emotional core of the Eels catalogue. Written in the aftermath of devastating personal losses, it’s a stark and deeply personal record that confronts grief, illness and survival with rare honesty. Across its 16 tracks, fragile melodies are paired with raw, unsparing lyrics — often laced with dark humour — capturing both the bleakness and absurdity of life in crisis.
