Eels - Last Stop This Town
Last stop this town was a 1998 single released from the Eels second studio album 'Electro-Shock Blues'.
The song begins with a 3 bar intro before E starts with the verse. The drums follow to give the song more body. The bass then joins in on the second verse and the song is well under way. The chorus has what sounds to be a sample being mixed over a distorted effect. The interlude is a breakdown of the effects and sample before going back the the main melody. The song has a nice twinkle, Christmassy end to it.
The music video has E from the Eels singing directly to the camera. At his side is a carrot being supported on a stand. A strand on hair is taken from E and injected into the carrot. As the video progresses the carrot transforms into E. They both sing parts of the song and it finishes with the carrot being placed into a toy robot. A different points of the video there is also shots of the band stood on rotating platforms.
Song Rating: 7/10
