Eels Announces Lockdown Hurricane 2022 Tour

The Eels’ 13th album was called “Earth To Dora” and was released last autumn. Perfect timing, actually – because that’s when all the crap with lockdown and closing started all over again. And the music of Mark Oliver Everett has always been a good comfort in dark times. Because this man had to go through many dark valleys himself – and made great art out of it. He allowed for sadness, but always tempered it with irresistible melodies, strong poetry and/or good humour.

That the Eels are now finally coming on tour in March 2022 to perform “Earth To Dora” and the dozens of other song gems from their oeuvre live is also perfect timing. Just think of hearing the song “Are We Alright Again” live. The only song on the new album that Everett wrote in the midst of the pandemic. It goes, “Are we alright again? / Are we around the bend? / Am I lucky or brave? / Are you stronger today? / Are we alright again? / Yeah, I think we’re alright.” A conclusion that we would like to nod off in front of the stage.
