Veteran indie rockers **Eels** have shared a new bouncy and upbeat single “Amateur
Hour.” The track is the fourth advance from the band’s upcoming 14th studio album.
The LP, _Extreme Witchcraft_, is set to drop officially on January 28th.

Previously, Eels released the tracks ’The Magic”, “Steam Engine” and “Good Night
On Earth.”

Frontman Mark ‘E’ Oliver Everett co-produced the album with alt rocker **PJ Harvey**
and producer/guitarist **John Parish**. It is the first time Parish and E have worked
together since 2001’s  _Souljacker_ release.

“John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met,” E said
in a statement. ” A true gentleman. Actually he’s probably THE most polite person
I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist.

“If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really
unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism
to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory.”

Eels will head to the UK and Ireland in March for a tour starting in Belfast on 
March 11 and concluding on March 18  at the O2 Guildhall in Southampton before starting
their European tour.
