Downpour [LP] (Bone Colored Vinyl)

Charmer - Downpour [LP] (Bone Colored Vinyl)

Hailing from Michigan's rugged Upper Peninsula, American rock band Charmer will release their third album, and first in five years, Downpour, this spring. It's a bold reintroduction to a band that refuses to be boxed in; and has a sound as expansive as their hometown winters. Fusing the melodic intensity of bands like Alkaline Trio, Boxcar Racer, and the late 90s Long Island punk scene with the dreamy, melancholic vibes of The Cranberries and The Cure, Charmer delivers a uniquely nostalgic and refreshing collection that defies easy categorization. Themes of growth, grief, and reflection abound, Downpour draws its thematic influence from personal losses, family dynamics, and life in the isolated UP. Vocalist/guitarist David Daignault reflects on monumental life shifts amidst a bittersweet pursuit of creativity, and dives deep into trauma and healing in the wake of new parenthood. There's a definitive transition from their coming-of-age cult classics Ivy (2020) and Charmer (2018) to the introspection found throughout Downpour, making it a deeply real record for anyone facing the complexities of adulthood.
