Track highlights: 1. "Fearless" - 3. "Can You Help Me?" - 5. "Wish The World Away" - 12. "I Broke My Promise" - 16. "California Dreamin' "
7th studio album by American Music Club is an album of 16 songs of which Mark Eitzel composed 1-15. The last two tracks are not enlisted on inlay or back cover. Track #16 is a cover of the hit single "California Dreamin' " by The Mamas & The Papas (org. rel. Dec. 8, 1965).
The music is the rather distinct style of most albums by AMC and / or Mark Eitzel solo with focus on singer / songwriter compositions and a certain slow folk rock (also labelled slowcore) with references to alt. country.
It's not a bad album but I've always found it somewhat anonymous.
