Overview

West marks a standout moment in Mark Eitzel's career, as he moves away from his work with American Music Club to explore a more diverse, experimental rock sound. The album features haunting vocals and atmospheric instrumentation with contributions from notable musicians, including Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), and Steve Berlin (Los Lobos). From the reflective tones of "If You Have To Ask" to the powerful “Live Or Die,” West is an evocative journey through Eitzel’s emotional landscapes, blending rock, folk, and experimental sounds.
