AIMEE MANN RELEASES LOST IN SPACE
Tour Dates Scheduled Throughout the US
Considered one of our generation's greatest songwriters, Aimee
Mann's every move has been followed by an adoring media and a
fiercely loyal fan base throughout her 15-year career. Nominated
for several 2001 Grammy Awards and an Oscar (for her work on the
motion picture Magnolia), Mann's last solo album, Bachelor
No. 2 was heralded as one of the best releases of 2000.
Released on her own SuperEgo Records, the long-awaited Bachelor
was met with rave reviews, and inadvertently turned Mann into
a leading spokesperson for recording artists rights and SuperEgo
into an archetype on how to succeed outside of the traditional
record company business model.
On Lost In Space (in stores August 27 on SuperEgo Records),
Mann sets some of her wry and introspective lyrics against layers
of instrumentation, a bold step forward for an artist best known
for her semi-acoustic songs. In "Invisible Ink"
and "It's Not," Mann enlists a 14-piece string section
to accompany her. The strings return for "Nightmare
Girl," one of two new songs that will be available exclusively
on a three song, limited edition bonus CD, available to those
who pre-order Lost In Space at www.aimeemann.com or while
supplies last at select retailers. Lost In Space
also reveals Mann's fascination with the human psyche, and is
filled with lyrics on the power of addiction and obsession.
As she told Rollingstone.com, "I think everybody has that
kind of behavior, everybody has that tendency at various times...people
can have a direction that seems healthy, like they exercise all
the time or work constantly and so it's hard to call 'em on it,
although it's really clear it comes from this really obsessive
place."
While it's no surprise that Mann delivers remarkable lyrics and
delicate song structures, she also spreads her artistic wings
by co-producing with Michael Lockwood, and by playing an array
of instruments including the acoustic guitar, bass, piano and
various percussion. And she continues to defy conventional
record industry wisdom, allowing her fans to hear her entire album
six weeks prior to the street date by streaming it at <http://www.aimeemann.com/>www.aimeemann.com.
Aimee has also been seen on television with recent performances
on the Tonight Show and Craig Kilborn, as well as special appearances
on the West Wing and a recent episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
