💿 Beautiful Freak
🎤 Eels

🏷️ Alternative Rock

Eels is one of those artists where I only know a few of their albums, but what I know I really like. They have 15 records, and after almost 30 years, their debut is still their most recognizable and iconic album.

Once again, thank you to the #ArtistFave15 hosts @geodrew.bsky.social and @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social

Can’t wait to start posting my December artist! Here’s a teaser: there’s just 1 degree of separation with Phil — considering their major collaborations — and the music will be mostly instrumental

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear #2021Music

For this November challenge, I’m sticking with recent years — just going back four, to 2021.

Expect a mix of modern prog, art rock, cinematic pop… and a few unexpected turns along the way (but we don’t talk about that song)
