Eels' sensitive brand of lo-fi indie rock, dense with gorgeous, off-kilter melodies, is a clear influence on songwriters like Zach Schwartz of Rogue Wave, whose “Eyes” recalls the band's quirky sweetness. Tobias Jesso Jr. channels their penchant for drama on the L.A. disillusion anthem “Hollywood”, and Aaron Lee Tasjan nails the eclectic California band's melancholy humour on “Everything That I Have Is Broken”.
