Any fans here?
I think H'e's an outstanding songwriter and lyricist....they're touring a soon to be released best of album over the next few months and he's written a book about his life which is out mid January called 'Things The Grandchildren Should Know'.
'Blinking Lights And Other Revelations' is just a beautiful album, give it a whirl if you're fancy something new or try go see them live as they're fantastic.
I thought i'd mention E as he seems to go under the radar a little, which is how he prefers it i'm sure.

I pretty much lost touch with them after Beautiful Freak(?) but I remember really enjoying them at the time. Which new stuff is particularly good?

Hi,

I think "Blinking Lights" 2CD and the live concert in NYC town hall could be suggested without doubt.

... ' jesus and his lawyer are coming back...' brilliant lyrics.
'Beautiful Freak' was a personal favourite, more than 10 years ago I guess....
I also remember buying their single 'Last Stop: This town' for peanuts, something like 1.000 Liras.

I'd agree with that,
Also as well as a singles compilation called 'meet the eels' coming out there's this collection too and it looks excellent:
