Extreme Witchcraft

EELS

Crunchy garage rock riffs meet Mark Oliver Everett's signature raspy wisdom. A rhythmic, blues-inflected record that trades sadness for a gritty, soulful swagger.

Find on Amazon

It's EELS but with the distortion turned up and a beat that actually makes you want to move.

A gritty, high-energy collection of garage-rock stompers that finds resilience in the groove.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The fuzzy, distorted guitar riff that kicks off Amateur Hour with immediate swagger.
The rhythmic, almost hypnotic stomp of Strawberries & Popcorn that feels like a basement jam session.
The sudden shift to a more vulnerable, stripped-back intimacy on the closing track I Know You’re Right.
