6th studio album by American Music Club has unmistakably Mark Eitzel's fingerprints all over, and it's, as usual, a slowcore album with elements from folk and jangle pop. Stylistically, it's like the second / continued part of the fine Everclear from '91.
To me, this is clearly the best album by the band with it's more varied compositions held nicely together in Mitchell Froom's eye for solid productions.
