"Maybe everything has been going to such shit lately because
Barbara Manning
has been hibernating. A Matador Records mainstay and pivotal indie-rock pioneer of the nineties, Manning has continually written material that matches the quality of the many songs she covers. Both as a performer and a listener, Barbara Manning is a passionate lifer. While her music is compact and succinct, it is steeped in multitudes of genre periods and styles. From SF Seals to her work with
Stuart Moxham
(
Young Marble Giants
) to
The Go-Luckys
, every collaboration carries her genius melodies and lyricism. In a four-minute catchy song, Manning can communicate what others require novels to express. Her fans include
Yo La Tengo
,
The Clean
,
Sonic Youth
,
Tall Dwarfs
,
Pavement
,
Calexico
,
The Replacements
, and even
Faust
(don't forget her prolific work as half of free-sound stalwarts
Glands Of External Secretion
). With an upcoming tour joining
Codeine
, Manning felt the time was right for something new. Thus,
Charm Of Yesterday? Convenience Of Tomorrow
. It compiles a few different periods. 'Chico Daze' is a song cycle that absorbed the dark times and experiences she had in Northern California through the 2010s. 'The Porch Series' cover songs were Manning's antidote to pandemic madness, and features the music of
Elliott Smith
,
Edgar Winter
,
Richard & Linda Thompson
,
Galaxie 500
,
Bob Dylan
, and
The Handsome Family
. Now situated near Los Angeles, where she works as a drama teacher, Manning has been playing live again and recording, channeling her innate sense of theatricality and dynamics into this new musical era.
Charm Of Yesterday? Convenience Of Tomorrow
heralds a new phase of releases for an iconic, legendary artist set to reintroduce herself and show how beautiful songwriting flames eternal."
