IF YOUVE EVER walked down a big city street and narrowed your vision to exclude everything except the garbage, savouring the contradiction between wealth and filth, then you should hear American Music Club.Similarly, if youve ever felt so bad about something, or nothing, that the weight almost crushed you before the feeling seemed beautiful, hear American Music Club.
