Evening Session: Eels (2001 Souljacker Tour)

I adore, always have adored, and always will adore every single thing that E and the Eels produce. They're the only band where I can say i've bought everything they've ever released on the day of its release, down to every single. I thought that their last record, the double Blinking Lights And Other Revelations was the best yet, and there really seems to be no limit to the amount of amazing songs that can be written by one man.

So here we have the contents of another audio tape i've fished out of a drawer. It's an interview and four track session recorded for Steve Lamacq's Evening Session on the week of the release of the Souljacker Pt. 1 single and a week before the album of the (almost) same name came out. Thus we get three tracks from that record, and a pretty darn good cover (which I saw them do live at Reading that year!). It's a reaaally good session, so I hope you like it.
