Candy Ass
Mark has allowed Candy Ass to retain a timeless sound by using both modern and older equipment, layering and interweaving his soundscapes over beds of percussion and drum loops to make some of his most beautiful songs. He also includes three acoustic based tracks including 'Sleeping Beauty', which has become a current staple of his recent live shows. Eitzel penned 11 of the 12 songs while 'Green Eyes' is a partial collaboration with Calexico. Calexico. Candy Ass was recorded in San Francisco and London over a three-year period, both before and after the AMC reunion album and tours, and was mixed and mastered in London in June of this year where Eitzel spends much of his time. All photos on the album were taken by Eitzel. Cooking Vinyl. 2005.
