Eels - Tomorrow Morning

Released: 23/08/2010 E Works
Once you’ve hit the bottom, the only way is up. So eccentric indie artist Mark ‘E’ Everett completes his recent trilogy of albums, each released within about six months of each other. Tomorrow Morning is as upbeat as Eels get, with a refreshing reliance on electronic instrumentation.

Pitchfork“E just sounds typically downhearted...” It meanders aimlessly through 14 songs that sound like 28. How's that for existential crisis? Stuck in a never-ending Eels album...

MusicOMH“Tomorrow Morning is indeed Eels' most upbeat album to date...” Overall, Tomorrow Morning is a good, but far from great, record. Everett is a talented and single-minded man, and perhaps that makes him averse to collaboration...

allmusic“A little optimism in these strange times is welcome...” While some of this album feels a bit rushed at times, as a whole Tomorrow Morning is a welcome contrast to the darkness of its predecessors, and a deft summertime pop record...

NME“E seems to be genuinely waving rather than drowning...” Hold on to your heartstrings because Mark ‘E’ Everett’s bi-polar emotional gauge is on the upswing...

The Telegraph“There’s not much new here...” Mark Everett’s lyrics, as introspective as ever, feel a little more optimistic. “It was all worth it, to be here now”, he sings on I’m a Hummingbird. As a listener, one only just agrees...

Guardian“An intriguing addition to the Eels canon...” The last of a trilogy of albums written around the time of Mark "E" Everett's divorce, Tomorrow Morning presents Everett as you've rarely heard him before: happy, fulfilled, almost optimistic...

The Independent“A celebration of emotional renewal...” It's set to the usual Eels topography of electric piano, organ and strings, applied in that way that disguises the complexity of the arrangements under a veil of simplicity...
