Aimee Mann is back and bummed out as ever on her new album Mental Illness

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Aimee Mann seems to have a good sense of humor about herself and her career—her appearance as Carrie Brownstein’s cleaning lady on Portlandia is evidence enough of that. But there’s also no denying that her music is depressing, so much so that Spotify has installed a feature where, if you listen to Lost In Space enough times on a loop, it calls a therapist on your behalf. Okay, so we made that last part up. But Mann has historically been a chronicler of life’s disappointments both simple and profound, a tradition she appears to be continuing on her new album, Mental Illness.
