NEW YORK (Billboard) - Aimee Mann's seventh album, "@#%&! Smilers," will arrive June 3 via her own SuperEgo Records.

"The sound is a little bit different for me," Mann told Billboard.com. "It's got a lot of Moog (synthesizer) on it (and) sometimes almost sounds like the Cars a little bit. From song to song, everything gets a different treatment."

Mann also noted, "There's no electric guitar at all, which you weirdly don't miss. It's kind of this all-keyboard situation, which is great. It's an interesting amalgamation of sounds."

Mann's upcoming tour will include an appearance at the Bonnaroo festival in June.
