A homemade epic, 2005's Blinking Lights and Other Revelations is an imaginative, emotional reflection on the condition of living, recorded mostly in Mark Oliver Everett's Los Angeles basement over a period of several years. Sprawling over it's three discs are songs about faith, responsibility, growing up, dignity, disappointment, comfort, hope and renewal. It was the most personal Eels album since 1998's Electro-Shock Blues. That album dealt with the nearly simultaneous suicide of Everett's sister and terminal illness of his mother, from the subjects' points of view. This album finds him a few years down the line, now battling some of the family demons himself, with the after effects of past tragedies becoming more of a personal issue in his adult life, sometimes fearlessly autobiographical, and other times built around the related stories of others.
"When it was time to master the Blinking Lights reissue I needed to listen to the whole double album for the first time since it came out in 2005, and I was surprised by what I heard," shares Everett. It was an intense and emotional experience for me and I felt proud of it and overwhelmed by how hard we worked on it. I'll start mentally preparing to listen to it again when its reissued again in 10 years."
