Description
Hey Mr Ferryman is Mark Eitzels tenth solo album, his first in three years, and the first full studio album recorded entirely in London. It was made at 355 Studios with Mercury Prize winner Bernard Butler (Suede, McAlmont & Butler). Butler produced and played all of the electric guitar, bass, and keyboard parts on the album. Hey Mr Ferryman features the vivid melodies long associated with Eitzels former band American Music Club as well as Butlers distinctive guitar that serves to complement Eitzels expressive vocals. Of that voice, Pitchfork once wrote: If Leonard Cohens voice is a story about the passage of time and Levon Helms is a story about losing what is most precious to you, Eitzels is about the circuitous roads we take in search of ourselves.
Mark Eitzel has released over 15 albums of original material with American Music Club and as a solo artist. The Guardian has called him Americas greatest living lyricist, and Rolling Stone once gave him their Songwriter of the Year award. Originally formed in 1983, AMC released seven albums before breaking up in 1995.
Available on regular vinyl and deluxe vinyl. The deluxe vinyl is limited edition (500 copies) on 180g vinyl, includes 12-track bonus CD featuring unreleased tracks and different recordings.
