Being Dead - Eels (2024)
EELS by Being Dead is a whimsical, energetic album that mixes humor, surreal storytelling, and sharp social commentary. The duo’s sophomore release combines surf rock, lo-fi psychedelia, and punk influences, producing an unpredictable and fun sonic journey. Tracks like "Van Goes" critique modern capitalist pressures, while "Big Bovine" and "Godzilla Rises" embody the band’s love for absurd narratives. The record offers a blend of high-octane, catchy tunes with more introspective moments, reflecting the band's playful yet thoughtful take on life. Though the 16-track album can feel repetitive at times, EELS is a creative exploration brimming with personality and musical risk-taking(The Boar)(The Alternative)(Creative Loafing)(whynow).
