Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping entirely outside of his Americana comfort zone, the American Music Club frontman embraces dense, electronic soundscapes. The album frames Eitzel's trademark world-weary lyricism and crooning vocals with surprisingly sophisticated beat programming, tape loops, and an ethereal, art-pop atmosphere.
