Extreme Witchcraft, the first major collaboration between E (Mark Everett) and JP since 2001’s Souljacker, was released on January 28th 2022. Eels were due to start a world tour to support the album in March but this has become yet another covid casualty and the dates have been postponed until 2023. There are great videos to accompany two of the E/Parish co-writes here :

EELS ANNOUNCEMENT 2022

EELS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM
'EXTREME WITCHCRAFT'
CO-PRODUCED BY E & JOHN
PARISH, TO BE RELEASED IN
JANUARY 2022

EELS leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, co-produced the record with PJ Harvey producer and guitarist John Parish, marking the first time the two have recorded together since 2001’s Souljacker album.

This is what E told us about working together again:
“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.”

Following the new album in January, EELS are all set for a spring 2022 tour of Europe and America, starting March 11 in Belfast. If you don’t have your ticket yet for the SPRING 2022 LOCKDOWN HURRICANE TOUR, you can find yours HERE.
