New American Music Club Video - "All The Lost Souls Welcome You To San Francisco"

We enjoyed "All The Lost Souls..." in its image-free, Pernice Brothers-y form. The Jon Ramos-directed video for The Golden Age's appropriately nostalgic standout track stars Laura Palmer's mom getting slowly wasted in some west coast bar. As she passes the hours, drowning her sorrows amid cigarette butts, doodles, peanuts, and the hard stuff, Mark Eitzel and his American Music Clubbers are reflected in the glasses in lieu of pink elephants.

Drink up, Twin Peaks fans.

The Golden Age is out via Merge.

Yes, it is AMC that sounds like the Pernice Brothers. Yes, that is the proper timeline of 80s/90s music. It's not the other way at all.

You're high strung, Larry. How should it be rephrased? "This song sounds like the Pernice Brothers, but American Music Club has been around longer, so maybe it would be more appropriate to compare the Scud Mountain Boys to AMC first and then mention how Joe then formed the Pernice Brothers, but then wait, that band has members of..." Douche.
