Eels: Tomorrow Morning

January's End Times found Mark E Everett picking through the wreckage of a failed relationship with bleak humour. Its follow-up is tentatively upbeat, tracing his recovery and the first flickerings of new love. Both themes will be familiar to long-term Eels fans, and his default musical setting, in which naive Casio-pop rubs up against grungey basslines and rasping vocals varies little here. But this is still a warm, beautifully balanced record, its glimmering epiphanies offset by the gruff wit of tracks such as "Baby Loves Me" and "The Man".
