Eels have just announced the release of their tenth studio album entitled Wonderful, Glorious. The new effort, slated for a February 5th release via Vagrant, is the follow up to their 2009/2010 trilogy album Hombre Lobo, End Time and Tomorrow Morning.
Lead member Mark Oliver Everett aka E said the new album saw the band fully collaborating in the writing and recording process. ‘Let’s try it. If anyone in the room had an idea, I’d say let’s try it.’
Other than the regular album edition featuring thirteen tracks, Wonderful, Glorious will also be available in an expanded 26-track deluxe version that includes some studio tracks, B-sides, four tracks recorded live at KEXP and other tracks recorded at live performances.
Whilst we eagerly wait to hear a new cut from Eel’s upcoming release, here’s ‘Fresh Blood’ off 2009’s Hombre Lobo.

Friday 26th October will see the release of Norwegian quintet Snøskred‘s debut album Whiteout via Riot Factory/Sad Songs For Happy People Records.
Snøskred formed in Trondheim in 2010 under the name The Avalanche but renamed themselves to the Norwegian word for avalanche instead.
According to label’s blurb, “Snøskred’s universe is filled with noisy guitars, seductive synths, pounding drums and rumbling bass that throws the listener back and forth between waves of delicious indierock and wonderful improvisation.”
Ahead of the album’s release, the outfit dropped recently a second single off it, the excellent ‘Come Closer’. Listen to it below, and also be sure to listen to the electrifying first single ‘We Are’ straight after.
Last month Brooklyn based quartet People Get Ready teased their eponymous debut album with the catchy first single ‘Windy Cindy’.
With less than a week to go before the album drops via Brassland, they are keeping us excited about it with the brand new single ‘Middle Name’.
In the words of founding member Steven Reker, “‘Middle Name’ imagines what Joan of Arc and Nikola Tesla have in common. And the structure of the song was inspired by Arthur Russell’s ‘Nobody Wants a Lonely Heart'”.
Listen to ‘Middle Name’ below. The single is free to grab and you can also stream the whole album via People Get Ready’s bandcamp.
