Aimee Mann - CharmerAimee Mann - Charmer

Consistently meticulous, sprinkled with wisely concise advice, Mann’s character-driven parables unravel psychoanalytical salvos through a tidy Midas touch. Framing ungainly stations in irony and sympathy rolled together as revealing verses and not unkind choruses map the heroic ascent and inevitable fall we all have experienced, “Charmer,” calmly categorizes in safe house harmonies, delicious jig-saw solid lyricism supported by genuine rapport, clever retorts and savvy happiness. Modest impishness rises from aloof moods addicted to sun-baked heartache, detached backlashes adept in spinning webs of hip wit and long-term retaliation, the California transplant transports imploring metaphors. Wisconsin gets two chances to catch Aimee on tour this time around as she plays Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater November 11th and then circles back to Stoughton’s Stoughton Opera House on November 16th.
