How obscure an album is I suppose is pretty relative.
One I would pick despite the fact that in the year of this record's release the main songwriter and singer in the band was voted Songwriter Of The Year in Rolling Stone magazine.
The year was 1991,the main man is Mark Eitzel and the band are called American Music Club.
The record is called Everclear(Alias Records).
It's arguably their most cohesive record,nice sparse arrangements,atmospheric pieces,passionate and extremely beautiful in places especially the last two tracks.
Downbeat it may be but in my book between '89 and '94 Eitzel wrote some of the greatest songs to be lost in relative obscurity.
A great representative record would arguably Songs Of Love Live by Mark Eitzel (Demon Records)
The band split in 1994 ,Eitzel went solo however they've reformed and have a new record out later in the year.
