Eels share new song "Amateur Hour"
Eels have delivered new song "Amateur Hour" as the fourth preview of their Extreme Witchcraft album.
"Amateur Hour" is Eels' first release of 2022, and will appear on Extreme Witchcraft alongside last year's "The Magic", "Steam Engine" and "Good Night On Earth" singles.
The new album, which will follow last year's Earth to Dora, is co-produced by Eels' Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, and PJ Harvey producer and guitarist John Parish, marking the first time they've worked together since 2001’s Souljacker album.
E said of working with Parish, "John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually he’s probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory."
