Album Notes

Mister Mann is the solo album project of John Mann, lead singer and songwriter of the Vancouver folk pop band Spirit of the West. After over a decade of touring the UK, Europe and North America with Spirit, December Looms is a return to his stripped down Alt Folk roots. Its a record gift wrapped in contrasts; the sparsest arrangements provide the richest and fullest of sounds. The darkest tales of caution and struggle are bound in the most appealing melodies. Half confessional, half observational, emotionally honest lyrics capture the intimate moments of Mann's home town of Vancouver and its occupants, the fragile details of their dysfunctional love and the loss of a city's innocence. Its a deceptively simple album whose songs mostly clock in at around 2 1/2 minutes but the short vignettes are rich and complete as everything strummed and sung feels necessary and full of purpose. If Damien Rice was Jeff Tweedy and Jeff Tweedy was Josh Ritter you'd come away with something kindred to December Looms.

Love it...
author: Evelyn VanDerStarre
I just received this CD in the mail, and I can\'t stop listening to it. In fact, I ordered it and then proceeded to listen the the tracks of his website until the CD came. I love SOTW, but there is something about the softer stylings of John Mann that I can always listen to, no matter the mood.

Really nice album
author: Wince
I second all the other positive reviews here - I myself have been a SOTW and John Mann fan for over twenty years. I have always liked his voice and songwriting, and while this is a little different from SOTW it is a welcome addition to my collection and I'm very glad to have ordered it. Thanks John!

December Looms

I've always been a SOTW fan, and after seeing them a few weeks ago in Calgary, I quickly tracked down the CD on the CDBaby website. Great voice, and great lyrics. I really enjoy the folk stylings of John Mann, and look forward to future releases. Cheers! Brian (from Nfld)
