St. Louis is Tennessee Williams territory, home to sweaty muscles, humidity and discomfort — not necessarily the place music fans would go to search for rye-and-cigarettes noir music from a mysterious, teasing, vaguely dangerous chanteuse. Yet downriver native Chloe Day whispers tunes laden with enough layered secrets, addictions and percussive slinkiness for both updated Raymond Chandler adaptations and creepy indie flicks. Day's songs, with titles such as "Catnip" and "Dirty Little Secret," should make for an intriguing songwriter's evening — even if her muted trumpets don't make it onto the bus.
