Eels' 2001 album 'Souljacker' is a snarling, swaggering beast - part gutter-blues, part twisted lullaby. Produced by John Parish, it finds Mark Oliver Everett (E) trading the orche stral 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 and the underbelly of American storytelling.
