American Music Club, one of the most lauded bands of the last several years, have returned with the finest album of their storied career. Powered by raw emotion and alcoholic beverages, "San Francisco" features Mark Eitzel's best-ever collection of songs perfectly executed by the group, which swings elegantly from 3 a.m. melancholia to blinding fury. It stands as AMC's most accomplished and accessible work.

The album was produced by Joe Chiccarelli (Seven Day Diary, The Verlaines, Steve Wynn). Several tracks were mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain.

Over the past few years, American Music Club have attracted an immense volume of press coverage so unanimous and enthusiastic in its praise of the group's accomplishments that it's almost scary.

AMC are well-known for their spellbinding live performances. They'll be touring extensively this fall.

The CD and cassette versions of the album feature two hidden tracks: a reprise of "Fearless" and a cover of The Mamas And Papas' "California Dreamin'." The limited-edition vinyl version features a revised lineup (without the hidden tracks and with two fewer songs) that includes the otherwise unavailable track "I Just Took My Two Sleeping Pills And Now I'm Like A Bridegroom Standing At The Altar."
