One More Drifter in the Snow

Aimee Mann

A quiet, mid-century lounge take on holiday standards. Stripped of commercial glitz, it captures the mysterious and lonely side of winter with dry, deadpan grace.

A quiet, sophisticated loneliness wrapped in the warm analog textures of a 1950s jazz club.

Moments Worth Listening For
the skeletal upright bass and dry snare on The Christmas Song that strips away the usual orchestral schmaltz
Grant-Lee Phillips' deep narration on Mr. Grinch providing a playful but grounded counterpoint to the album's stillness
the transition in Calling on Mary where the secular loneliness of the lyrics meets a surprisingly warm melodic resolution

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
