Record Review - Eels' Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire

Mark Oliver Everett's newest album as eels is not a revelation or a drastic change of pace, though as another eels album it is far from the same old thing. There was certainly a dark period in Everett's life, most notably documented in Electro-Shock Blues, but it seems like ten years later he has finally come to the closest thing we can call a happy and healthy resolution to all those intense happenings. On Hombre Lobo, Everett sings of missing his loved ones in a matter that is decidedly not heart-wrenchingly sad nor is it "fuck the world and everyone in it" distortion-heavy punk. Mark may take on the titular role of the wolfman in this outing, but more than ever before he comes across as completely and wonderfully human.
