Quiz #158 - Eels "Novocaine for the soul"

What a great song to recover from the loud metal music I subjected myself to over the weekend...

A very hypnotic song, from a weird band with weird videos. You have til next Tuesday (April 21) to find out who they are.

UPDATED:

Due to Mark Oliver Everett's prolific songwriting, he landed a recording contract as a solo artist for Polydor Records. This was followed by a pair of underappreciated releases, 1992's A Man Called E (which was supported with a tour opening for Tori Amos) and 1993's Broken Toy Shop, before E left the label and formed Eels along with bassist Tommy Walter and drummer Butch Norton.

The trio inked a deal with the then-newly formed DreamWorks label and issued their debut, 1996's Beautiful Freak. The album spawned a sizable MTV/alternative radio hit with "Novocaine for the Soul," its promo clip received three MTV Video Music Award nominations the following year, and the group's popularity rose in England (resulting in a Brit Award, which was presented to the group by goof metallists Spinal Tap).
