Eels Tomorrow Morning

Following the release of 2005's critically lauded Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, Eels' frontman, Mark Oliver Everett, set out to create a trilogy of concept albums. The trilogy's story began with 2009's straightforward rocker Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire that, as its title implies, dealt with various feelings associated with desire. Just six months later, in 2010, Everett continued the tale with End Times. A darker record, it focused on themes of divorce and aging. But there was hope left in Everett as made by Tomorrow Morning's heartwarming single, “Looking Up.” The track indicates that this, the last album in the trilogy, will feature brighter themes and, perhaps, peppier tunes.
