Pre-Order: Eels - Cookie Happened [Black], Eels, Vinyl

Critically acclaimed rock group EELS present their 16th studio album, COOKIE HAPPENED. It follows 2024's critically acclaimed EELS TIME!, which saw EELS continuing their remarkable late-career run with a collection of songs that balanced reflection, humor, and hard-won optimism. With its latest offering, EELS once again demonstrate that few artists are better at finding meaning in life's messiest moments. Speaking about the album title, E (Mark Oliver Everett) says: "All of this will be forgotten. Every joy, accomplishment and hardship will one day become so irrelevant it will be as if none of it occurred. But as the great philosopher of our times, Cookie Monster once said: 'Me no cry because cookie is finished. Me smile because cookie happened.' This will all be forgotten. But isn’t it still a beautiful thing that it happened?"
