Eels to release new album

In somewhat surprising news, eels will be releasing their third album in a year and a half, nearly rivaling Ryan Adams' colossal 2005 output (which saw the alt country rocker release Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, and 29 all in one year).  The album will be called Tomorrow Morning, and will be available for purchase on August 24, 2010.

From the website:

EELS leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E calls the 14 track album the final installment of a trilogy that began with HOMBRE LOBO (June 2009) and END TIMES (January 2010). Following a four year absence, TOMORROW MORNING will be the third new EELS album in a little over a year and a half and will be released on the EELS' E Works Records label. The world tour starts in Santa Ana, California, hitting Japan, Australia, Europe, United States and Canada. It will be the first time EELS have performed live since the release of HOMBRE LOBO, END TIMES and the new album.

Unless I'm late to the party, this is the first I've heard that Hombre Lobo and End Times were part of a trilogy.  This changes everything!

Snark aside, more Mark Oliver Everett music is always a good thing.  2010 is shaping up to be a big year for music.
