Mark Eitzel's songs are poignant, highly personal tales, encapsulating a sense of loss and loathing, but often tinged with a bitter twist of drink-fuelled humour. Through his solo work and that of his former band American Music Club, Eitzel has been responsible for some of the most individual and memorable records of recent years. Through unrestricted access to Eitzel, former band members, associates and friends, Sean Body has written a fascinating biography which portrays an artist tortured by demons, yet redeemed by the aching beauty of his songs. ISBN 0946 719 20 9 256 pages - illustrated - Paperback

WISH THE WORLD AWAY Sean Body Wish The World Away is an insightful quote drenched post-mortem on a band who recorded a slew of unbearably moving records before getting chewed up by the music biz machine. Uncut Body has done an admirable job of piecing together AMC's rise from the ruins of the Ohio punk scene to college rock ubiquity. NME Colourful and thorough, Body's tome - like Eitzel's work - is melancholic fare. Naturally, devotees will adore it. Q Magazine |
