"Any Emotions" is a single by American band Mini Mansions, featuring Brian Wilson. Released on January 13, 2015, it is the second single released in promotion for the band's second LP The Great Pretenders.[1] Wilson's involvement came after bassist Zach Dawes connected with him during the recording of No Pier Pressure.[2] According to Dawes:
"We got along great and I went straight to Vox Studios from that session where the boys were doing vocals for ‘Any Emotions.’ As they got into harmonies Brian’s name came up kind of as a pie in the sky idea. I followed up with him and sent him a rough cut of the song. Then that rare moment occurred where the idealised version of something becomes a reality and Brian Wilson served up an endless helping of apple pie a la mode. We are forever grateful for his presence, genius, and generosity."[1]
In interviews, the band has explained the song is a reference to singer Michael Shuman's struggles with Asperger's Syndrome.[3]
The vinyl single was initially mispressed with the tracks from Boston hardcore punk band Siege's Lost Session '91 7".
