American Music Club formed in San Francisco in 1982, an indie rock band built around the songs and the wounded, unguarded voice of Mark Eitzel. This is slow-burning, bruised music that leaves plenty of room in the arrangements for things to go quiet and hurt a little, the opposite of rock as a victory lap.
Everclear, from 1991, is a good way in. "Rise" moves with a slow, swelling grace, the band holding back until Eitzel's voice and the guitars lift the whole thing up. Along the way the lineup included Marc Capelle, Bruce Kaphan, Tim Mooney, Jonathan Heine, Matt Norelli and Daniel Pearson, and the records came out on labels such as Warner Bros. Records and Cooking Vinyl.
They made seven albums before breaking up in 1995, came back together in 2003 for two more, and split for good in 2010.
