(NEW YORK) - Singer/Songwriter Mark Eitzel's Matador disc Caught In A Trap And I Can't Back Out 'Cause I Love You Too Much Baby, due Jan. 20, brims with songs of broken hearts and suspicious minds.|

The set is more aligned with the barroom bard's work as the leader of cult favorite American Music Club than his more polished efforts on his usual label, Warner Bros. Much of Caught In A Trap sees Eitzel turning singer/songwriter clichTs on their heads armed with just his guitar and aching voice, but he's helped on several key cuts by Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, Yo La Tengo bassist James McNew and former Bad Seed guitarist Kid Congo Powers.
