Where the sombre 'Agatha Chang' was tinged with regret over lost love, 'Mistakes Of My Youth' is where Mark 'E' Everett finds a new sense of purpose in amongst all the self-doubt and back luck, determined to keep his head held high. Both new songs aired so far seem to be slightly reminiscent of the 1998 classic 'Electro Shock Blues', also a very personal record. In my opinion there hasn't been a truly great Eels album since 2000, but signs are looking very promising for this new one... It's out April 22.
