@#%&*! Smilers (2008)

Written by Chad Grischow

The combination of charming every-day lyrics and the smoky warmth of her vocals give even the simplest song a lush quality on Aimee Mann's latest music album. It makes for the kind of refreshing Sunday morning album you throw on and let flow through the background as you go about your day. Aimee has a classic folk music undercurrent to her brand of guitar pop that recalls luminaries like Joni Mitchell. It is a lofty comparison, but on her latest album @#%&*! Smilers, Mann delivers on the promise she showed on Magnolia Soundtrack's captivating "Save Me".

Aimee Mann Live At St. Ann's Warehouse (2004)

Written by Mark Deming

While Aimee Mann's solo music has boasted the tape-loop sheen and production smarts of an artist who is most comfortable in the music studio, she also happens to be an engaging and expressive live performer, and thankfully she has taken the trouble to offer proof of this with this release. Live at St. Ann's Warehouse was recorded during a three-night stand at the titular Brooklyn venue in July of 2004, and captures Aimee Mann and her backing band in superb form.
