Aimee Mann | Mental Illness
SuperEgo | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
According to Justin Chadwick: “Whether inspired by personal experience or her penchant for compelling, narrative fiction, Mann has always been an interpreter and champion of the fringe and fragile figures among us. Hence why her music was the perfect aural accompaniment for Magnolia’s parallel tales of deep-seated dysfunction. And here on Mental Illness, she demonstrates a markedly profound and incisive empathy for the adversities of the marginalized and misunderstood....With her signature eloquence and grace, Mann once again proves herself one of the most adept songwriters when it comes to externalizing the psychological and emotional trauma—indeed, the mental illness—that so many of us hold deep inside, for fear of exposing our vulnerabilities. And while the truth can be hard to accept, it’s reassuring to know that someone out there cares enough to listen and honor these stories through song.”
