EELS share ‘Good Night On Earth’ music video from new album ‘Extreme Witchcraft’ due January 28th

EELS Announce new album 'Extreme Witchcraft +& 2022 Tour - Hear new song 'Good Night On Earth'

EELS have revealed the official music video for their new single “Good Night On Earth”, taken from their upcoming fourteenth studio album Extreme Witchcraft, due for release January 28 via PIAS and the band’s own E Works Records.

Directed by Steven Mertens (Sheryl Crow, Regina Spektor, Elohim/Wiz Khalifa), this nightmare vision sees an intergalactic clash of the titans. As EELS leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, is immortalised as an anchorman of Godzillian proportions, disaster strikes, the world burns, laser warfare ensues, and an evil lobster kaiju must be stopped.

E says: “Just another newscaster Godzilla fighting a lobster from space video.” – Watch BELOW:

E co-produced Extreme Witchcraft with PJ Harvey producer and guitarist John Parish, marking the first time the two have recorded together since 2001’s Souljacker album. EELS are also set for their upcoming Spring, 2022 Lockdown Hurricane tour of Europe and America, starting March 11 in Belfast; get tickets HERE.

Says E: “John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually he’s probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory.”

EELS have had one of the most consistently acclaimed careers in music. The ever-changing project of principal singer/songwriter E (Mark Oliver Everett), EELS have released 13 studio albums since their 1996 debut, Beautiful Freak. In 2008, E published his highly acclaimed book Things the Grandchildren Should Know and starred in the award-winning Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives documentary about the search to understand his quantum physicist father, Hugh Everett III.
