Eels, Melanie de Biasio

In celebration of the release of their new album 'The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett' on April 21, EELS will set off on a North American and European tour, kicking off their UK dates in June.

The new album from singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and EELS front man Mark Oliver Everett (aka E) is being described as “an extraordinarily vivid and intimate document of a personal struggle.”

The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett marks the 11th full-length release for EELS, whose debut Beautiful Freak was released in 1996. In addition to the recordings, Everett has embarked on a number of non-musical projects as well including his acclaimed book Things the Grandchildren Should Know and the multiple-award winning Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives documentary film about Everett and his quantum physicist father, Hugh Everett III, broadcast on the BBC.
