Singer Aimee Mann at the ‘Lost in Space’ tournament, New Musical

Singer Aimee Mann is again on the street this summer with a tour of the eastern coast that will take her to the Williamsburg music hall in Brooklyn and in East End of Long Island this June.

Known for her wise, personal and clear, melodic texts, she is playing hits from her fourth studio album, released again in 2002. This means that fans in her 21+ shows may be listening to these songs – which the old man Millennials among us can remember “Buffy the Vampire Slay” – for the first time.

We caught with Aimee to control the tournament, her life in LA and what is inspiring her latest work.

You are celebrating the 22nd anniversary of your album “Lost in Space” with a tournament on the east coast (playing the Grand Balloom at Canoe Place Inn in Hampton Bays June 12). Why this album and why now?

We were a little slow from the signs. We wanted to do the 20th anniversary, but it took more for a number of reasons. Of course I like all my records, but I feel like this has only such an interesting sound and really creates a mood.

Your catalog cuts through the genre-hit “Voices Carry” with the new wave group ‘Til Tuesday to “Save with” The Breakout 90s Ear Ear by Nominated “Magnolia” nominated by Oscar. Your “Mental Disease” album even won the 2018 Grammy Award for the best popular album. Are you still evolving as an artist?

The first gang I was in was this really untouchable type of rock art, punk, the new wave group – one of those gangs where you say to yourself, “let’s do everything weird.” Which is super fun, but not necessarily fun for the listener. ‘Til of Martha was a reaction against this. I wanted to play music that was more melodic. I think it takes a lot of practice in writing songs to understand what you like and what you are well. It is a lot of experiments and over time you understand, ‘Oh, this is the kind of things I’m really good for, or “that’s the kind of things I like to do.” And the pop-based pop-based pop with little popular fragrance is my favorite place to park.

But there is also this writing quality for your songs that I think it determines you. Do you agree?

I like that description. This is a fun way to think of myself. But no, I really didn’t think that way. I just know that words are very important, and it is a pleasure to try to get better in writing texts and being more accurate in your language.

You are centered on LA with your husband Michael Penn. Do you have plans for your time in New York when you are not on stage?

I have really good friends in Brooklyn with whom I stay when I go to New York. So it feels like I have my place for neighborhood coffee. But I’ve never lived in New York; I was in Boston for 15 years. In this tour, it is difficult to say. It can be inside and out, but it all depends. I will allow Karma to decide. Wherever the tour of the tournament go, I will go here.

Are you working on new music?

I’m writing songs for a new record. I’m not sure exactly how I want to sound yet, but I have a record called “forgotten arm”, [2005] And I’ve played a lot of songs from this, so I’m interested in returning to that sound. I am also developing a musical based on those songs. This record is written about drug addiction and music is about two people who are together, and one is a drug addict. The dynamics of that relationship are. I think we will make a workshop at the pub to Joe somewhere this fall.
