Day-dreaming and optimistic, the new track has a definite pre-pandemic air about it: and indeed, this is a record that was captured before the onset of Covid-19.
Vaguely wonky and sunnily delirious, it's a rolling drumbeat caught in a spinning guitar cycle on a really, really good day:
Recent surprise singles 'Who You Say You Are' and 'Baby Let's Make It Real' will also appear on Earth to Dora, which will be the band's first full-length in four years.
In all three releases so far, Eels have touched on cautious hopefulness, the sensation of burgeoning excitement and total happiness. It's looking to be a delightful release...
“These songs came about just before the pandemic hit and changed everything. I’m hoping they can be, maybe kind of soothing or something" E said of the record.
