Over the last 15 years, Mark Everett's band, Eels, has released nine acclaimed albums, from Beautiful Freak to 2010's Tomorrow Morning. Everett is also one of music's most fascinating characters and Blinking Lights covers his unusual childhood, the tragedy of his sister's suicide, his relationship with his brilliant mathematician father and his initial struggles to succeed in the music industry.

Featuring interviews with those close to Everett - who gave his blessing to those closest to him to be interviewed for this book, including former band members - and a detailed discography, this first biography of the band is an in-depth examination of their extensive career.
