American Music Club to release 'The Golden Age'

"I don't intend to make songs dark or difficult. I want to make the best f*cked up pop songs out there."

So says Mark Eitzel, lead singer and songwriter of the legendary American Music Club, who will be releasing their 9th studio album, The Golden Age, on Monday 4th February 2008.

Featuring 13 songs, The Golden Age exudes an understated brilliance, and sees AMC moving away from the fragmented studio sound of their last, critically acclaimed opus Love Songs For Patriots, to a lighter more cohesive sound.

Cited as "America's greatest living lyricist" (The Guardian), Eitzel is on top of his game once again. From the beautiful simplicity in "All My Love", the pure twisted pop of "Who You Are", to "Windows of the World" an ode to the World Trade Centre, and the mariachi waltz of "That's Not Really You", The Golden Age is yet another triumphant return to form.

American Music Club will be doing a full UK tour in February 2008, in support of The Golden Age. More details to follow …
