Originally released in 1998, Electro-Shock Blues stands as the emotional centrepiece of the Eels catalogue — a stark, beautiful exploration of grief, survival, and ultimately, hope.

Written in the aftermath of profound personal losses, the album fuses fragile melodies with raw, often darkly humorous lyrics. From the haunting opener “Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor” to the defiant closer “P.S. You Rock My World,” it remains a deeply human record that doesn’t flinch from life’s hardest moments.

This special 25th Anniversary 2-disc edition is pressed on solid blue 140-gram 12” vinyl, spinning at 45 RPM for exceptional audio fidelity. It offers upgraded sound from the original 10” 33 RPM pressing, revealing new depth and clarity in Eels’ intricate, layered production.

A landmark album of the late ’90s, Electro-Shock Blues remains as poignant and cathartic today as it was upon its initial release.
