Else has announced their new album Extreme magic, Is scheduled to arrive on January 2, 2022. This will be their 1st overall.
Frontman Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, co-produced the record with PJ Harvey producer John Parish, the two are collaborating for the second time since 2001. Souljacker. A song outside the “Good Night on Earth” record has now been released on streaming services.
Listen to “Good Night on Earth” below:
“John Parish is one of the most polite, polite people I’ve ever met,” Everett said. “A real gentleman. In fact he is probably the most polite person I have ever met. But when he enters the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make music with John Parish, you get things that no one else does. It has a really unique toolbox and musical aspect. Perhaps his politeness is a coping process to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he is out of his laboratory.
Els will begin its journey in the spring of 2022 on a European and American lockdown hurricane tour that opens in Belfast. Fans can buy tickets on the band’s website.
