“New Alphabet” by The Eels

"New Alphabet" comes from Wonderful, Glorious, the tenth Eels album, released in February 2013 on Vagrant and E Works. Band leader Mark Oliver Everett, known as E, wrote the words and produced it, and he shares the music credit with The Chet and Koool G Murder, who also pitched in extra recording alongside Knuckles and P-Boo; Ryan Boesch recorded and mixed it.

In an unusual move for Eels, E built the album's songs by jamming with his bandmates and composing at home, working from only a few scraps of lyric in his notebooks, in a new studio at his place in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, built for the record after the old one got too cramped. The idea came from a lineup that had stayed steady through the previous two tours and three records, and a worldwide tour followed the release.
