Human Potential the project of multi-artist Andrew Becker, will release the band’s forthcoming LP, Eel Sparkles on March 6 via What Delicate Recordings. Ahead of the album’s arrival, they have shared “Sun-E Corporation Teenage Anthem,” the album’s final pre-release single.

Human Potential will be playing in San Diego on April 18 at The Black Cat Bar and in Los Angeles on May 24 at Scribble. Eel Sparkles is the latest release from Human Potential, Becker’s solo project. A former drummer for Dischord Records’ Medications and Brooklyn band Screens, Becker is also an award-winning filmmaker known for blending his unique craft with eccentric and imaginative storytelling.

In spring of 2025, Becker crammed a Tascam 488 and a Mark Shippy signature balalaika into his vintage Givenchy bindle and set sail for the rugged steppes of Inner Mongolia. There, he hoped to track down and solicit the tutelage of legendary baritone, Ariunbataar Ganbaatar, and thus, transmogrify the foundational gain of his sonic effluvium.

But, just days into the journey, the vessel he was aboard was hijacked by a revolutionary group led by the wayward son of Larry Drake. For days the crew and passengers were forced to watch 70mm prints of “Dr. Giggles” while consuming only fermented horse milk and Teddy Grahams dipped in ham salad. Eventually, after deciding another medium of entertainment was needed, Drake Jr. conscripted Becker into performing, not only live improvised “Giggles” scores, but rigorous performances during daily meals.

After the hostages were liberated by surviving members of the Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior incident, Becker found himself back in his Los Angeles kutcha, armed with an array of new ideas that he would engineer into, Eel Sparkles.
