Beautiful Freak 2LP

Beautiful Freak introduced Eels, the project fronted by Mark Oliver Everett, who records as E, and landed as one of the first releases on DreamWorks Records after that label launched in 1996. Everett produced it himself alongside Jon Brion, Mark Goldenberg, and Michael Simpson, and it reached number five on the UK Albums Chart and went Platinum there, carried by the singles "Novocaine for the Soul," "Susan's House," and "Your Lucky Day in Hell." It later landed a spot in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
