Album Description
Available in:
Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire is the seventh studio album by American rock band Eels, released on June 2, 2009. Hombre Lobo is Spanish for "werewolf." On March 31, 2009, the band made the track "Fresh Blood" available on Spinner.com, explaining that the song would be the lead single for the album. A documentary entitled Tremendous Dynamite was filmed to document the recording of the album. The cover art is a tribute to the famous Cuban cigar brand Cohiba.
The songs form a concept album about desire. As E explained "I wanted to write a set of songs about desire. That dreadful, intense want that gets you into all sorts of situations that can change your life in big ways." In part, the album was inspired by E's facial hair and written as a sequel to the Souljacker song "Dog Faced Boy." The character of "Dog Faced Boy" has grown up into a werewolf and is the protagonist who experiences various types of desire throughout the songs. In an interview with NPR on June 6, 2009, Eels' frontman Mark Oliver Everett stated "That Look You Give That Guy" is his favorite song from the album.
In contrast to the lush double album that was 2005's Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, Everett tried to compose more straightforward rock songs for Hombre Lobo.
Hombre Lobo is the first in a trilogy of three concept albums continuing with the 2010 albums End Times and Tomorrow Morning.
