{"product_id":"eels-beautiful-freak-30th-anniversary-edition","title":"Eels - Beautiful Freak (30th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDebut studio album from Eels from 1996. E, the guitarist, vocalist and songwriter with LA band Eels, had already recorded two solo albums before teaming up with drummer Butch and bassist Tommy to produce Beautiful Freak. Opener and single 'Novocaine for the Soul' set the tone: melodic, articulate pop that, like fellow LA musician Beck, makes startling and inventive use of samples, beats and odd arrangements. The Eels' music takes in post-Nirvana grunge, soul, country, hip-hop, and even jazz, all without sounding derivative; E's intensely personal lyrics are similarly multi-faceted, blending wit, angst, disaffection, and surreal urban detail - as in the mournfully soundtracked cross-city trek of 'Susan's house'. Throughout the eclectic swirl of musical influence and misanthropic irony the band never lose the ability to craft affecting laid-back pop songs and subtle, naggingly catchy hooks. an inspired album, and that rare thing, an art-house rock record full of memorable tunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\/Blue Splatter on Clear vinyl LP \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e: PIAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e: Indie\/Alternative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: New\/Pre-Order \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCat No\u003c\/strong\u003e.: PIASC1119LPX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5400863182922\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Novocaine For The Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Susan's House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Rags To Rags\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Beautiful Freak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Not Ready Yet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 My Beloved Monster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Guest List\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Mental\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Spunky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 Your Lucky Day In Hell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Manchild\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrowse more \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.southrecordshop.com\/collections\/pre-order\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epre-orders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf unsealed, we ship records with the LP outside the sleeve to avoid seam splits.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.southrecordshop.com\/collections\/pre-order\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Blue Splatter 2LP","offer_id":55707604058488,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/files\/EELS-BeautifulFreak-30th-Packshot-3000x3000.webp?v=1792580436","url":"https:\/\/www.southrecordshop.com\/products\/eels-beautiful-freak-30th-anniversary-edition","provider":"South Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
