The Invisible Man is a solo album by the American Music Club singer/songwriter Mark Eitzel, released by Matador Records in 2001.[4]

It is a more electronic effort by Eitzel, who is known for his stark, acoustic arrangements. Eitzel wrote all of the songs on an acoustic guitar, but finished most of them with a sampler and Pro Tools on his Power Mac G4 in the front room of his house.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

No Depression called the album "a real return to form, evoking the ghost of [Eitzel's] former band of arch-miserablists, the American Music Club."[6] The Detroit Metro Times called it a "subdued yet powerful record, confirming Eitzel as a talented musician and one of the best songwriters of his generation."[7]
