Released June 2, Hombre Lobo debuted at #43 on the Billboard 200 chart surpassing the first week success of its predecessor.
EELS is the ever-changing project of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett. The band's first record since 2005's critically acclaimed Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, Hombre Lobo was recorded entirely at E's studio in Los Angeles with Koool G Murder (bass, keyboards and guitar) and Knuckles (drums and percussion). "I wanted to write a set of songs about desire," says E. "That dreadful, intense want that gets you into all sorts of situations that can change your life in big ways."
E has embarked on a number of projects since the release of 2005's Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. In 2008 E published his acclaimed autobiography Things the Grandchildren Should Know.
Also in 2008 the BBC-produced multiple-award winning Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives documentary film about E and his quantum physicist father Hugh Everett III was broadcast on PBS' "Nova" series in the U.S.
"All this time during the making of all these other projects, I was always writing and recording music," says E. "Every time I branch out and try something else, I think it will be some kind of relief to take a break from music. But I always come back with my tail between my legs, because there's nothing I enjoy more than making music. The other projects have been great experiences for me, but this is what I love to do."
