Eels with Strings
Live at Town Hall
(Vagrant)
The esteemed E and company offer a magical, stirring set of 22 songs that draw from every previous chapter of the band’s brilliant melodic pop and E’s bent but compassionate world view. Strings have always played a part, along with organ, in Eels music so they’re far from an add-on here.
