Aimee MannLost in Space (Limited Edition Splatter Vinyl & Glow in the Dark Jacket)

A hushed, narcotic gravity pulls at every song here, Mann's voice floating cool and clear over arrangements that ache without ever raising their voice. 'Humpty Dumpty' opens with a quiet thud of resignation, 'Guys Like Me' and 'This Is How It Goes' map a fog of dependency and self-deception in her sharpest, most novelistic writing. The glow-in-the-dark jacket suits a record this nocturnal. Devastatingly elegant heartbreak from one of rock's finest lyricists.
