EELS present Cookie Happened due for release on October 16th via E Works / Play It Again Sam. Reflecting on the 16th studio album, frontman E says: All of this will be forgotten. Every joy, accomplishment and hardship will one day become so irrelevant it will be as if none of it occurred. But as the great philosopher of our times, Cookie Monster once said: Me no cry because cookie is finished. Me smile because cookie happened. This will all be forgotten. But isnt it still a beautiful thing that it happened?
