Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Aimee Mann Premieres New Music Video for “Goose Snow Cone”
American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann premiered a new music video for "Goose Snow Cone" directed by Rob Hatch-Miller & Puloma Basu.
"Goose Snow Cone" is the lead single from her upcoming ninth solo album "Mental Illness", which is due out on March 31.
She wrote about the video on her Facebook;
“I wrote “Goose Snow Cone” when I was on tour in Ireland, on a cold and snowy day. I was feeling very homesick when I saw a picture on Instagram of a cat I know named Goose. Her fluffy white face was looking up at the camera in a very plaintive way, like a little snowball, and I started singing a little song about her that turned into a song about loneliness. I intended to change the lyrics but could never find a phrase to replace the one I started with. When it came time to make a video, I knew the original Goose had to be in it. Her owners are my friends Rob and Puloma who coincidentally produce and direct videos. One of my cats had recently gone through a long illness and I was thinking about that when I came up with the idea for the video, and I knew Puloma had to star in it, as she has a very lovely and expressive face. The vet in the video is my actual vet and he’s a great guy. It was not easy wrangling Goose but the magic of editing makes it all work!”-
She released another music video for "Patient Zero" directed by Daniel Ralston on March 8. The song is inluded on the new album.
American actors Bradley Whitford and James Urbaniak appeared on the video.
The new album will be released for the first time in five years. Aimee Mann told Rolling Stone about the new album, in which she wrote the material assuming the general public views her work as really depressing.
"I don't know – people may have a different viewpoint – but that's my own interpretation of the cliché about me. I mean, calling it Mental Illness makes me laugh, because it is true, but it’s so blunt that it’s funny."
Also, she will launch North American tour to promote the new album at Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC on April 20.
