A raw, retro‑modern live take on “Steam Engine,” enhanced with official album audio from Extreme Witchcraft and captured during their 2023 Lockdown Hurricane Tour.
The raw & retro go‑go modern rock band Eels return with a kinetic performance of their 2021 single “Steam Engine,” pulled from the album Extreme Witchcraft.
This exclusive clip blends live performance footage from Salle Pleyel in Paris (April 21, 2023) with enhanced official album audio, giving the moment a polished‑yet‑gritty punch that feels both archival and freshly electrified.
Produced by longtime collaborator John Parish, “Steam Engine” is a driving, momentum‑charged track — all forward motion, all restless energy. The chorus leans into that theme hard, pushing the song like a machine that refuses to slow down.
Fans have described the production as “mad scientist‑coded,” and this performance leans into that chaos beautifully. It’s also the first‑of‑its‑kind live rendition of the track, making the moment even more special for Eels devotees.
Scroll down and let the engine rev.
