Eels, 'End Times' -- Video Premiere
- Posted on Jan 19th 2010 10:40AM by Benjy Eisen
The sort of lifeless motion that accompanies the cartoon version of Mark Oliver Everett (aka E) in this video for the Eels' 'End Times' -- intentional or not -- can be viewed as a kind of metaphor for the lyrics. There's a certain isolation implied, accompanied by a definite feeling of loneliness, even detachment. "I don't feel nothing now, not even fear," sings E, "now that end times are here."Pending the actual arrival of end times, 'End Times' the album hits stores and outlets on Tuesday. Watch the video after the jump.

More wonderful music/lyrics by E....as on this album...and others...there are definite rings of the Fab Four..."Gone Man" could have fit on any Beatles album.
John Lennon would have been damn proud of you E...I hope to see you play live this summer...once you release some tour dates.
Keep rockin' E....
