Eels - Cookie Happened (Green Vinyl) LP

Eels – Cookie Happened (Green Vinyl) LP

Available at Bennies Fifties and the online Fifties Store

Eels – Cookie Happened is the sixteenth studio album by the American alternative rock band Eels, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett, better known as E.

With this album, Eels once again demonstrate why they have remained such a distinctive presence in alternative rock for decades. Combining melancholy, dry humour, deeply personal lyrics and memorable melodies, Cookie Happened explores life's small victories, inevitable disappointments and unexpectedly beautiful moments.

The album's unusual title was inspired by a saying from Cookie Monster: rather than being sad because a cookie is gone, we can be happy that we enjoyed it. This simple but meaningful idea runs throughout the record. Everything may eventually fade away, but that does not make our experiences any less valuable.

Featuring twelve new songs, the album includes “Clobbered”, “Cap In Hand”, “All Forgotten”, “Bamboozled Again”, “Lost And Barking” and “The Way I Was Made”. The music combines Eels' unmistakable melodic style with introspective songwriting and a distinctive balance of emotional depth and playful humour.

Released on October 16, 2026, through E Works Records / Play It Again Sam, Cookie Happened follows the band's 2024 album Eels Time!.

This special Limited Edition Green Vinyl LP is pressed on 140-gram green vinyl and comes housed in a gatefold sleeve with a gloss finish. A printed inner sleeve includes lyrics and credits.

An excellent addition for fans of Eels, alternative rock, indie music and collectible coloured vinyl editions.
