Michael Penn has sewn up the recording of his fourth album, MP4 (Days Since A Lost Time Accident), and will see it in stores on Feb. 1, 2000 on Epic Records. A few notable guests helped him out, some more obvious than others.

Wife and ex-'Til Tuesday vocalist Aimee Mann sings background vocals on three tracks ("High Time," "Perfect Candidate," and "Trampoline"); ex-Grant Lee Buffalo singer Grant Lee Phillips lends his vocals to two tracks ("Whole Truth," "High Time"); and oddly, younger brother and actor Chris Penn (Reservoir Dogs) sings on a track called "FootDown"; even producer Brendan O'Brien gets in on the action, playing slide guitar and singing background on "Lucky One" and filter piano on "FootDown."

MP4 is the follow-up to 1997's Resigned. Look for Penn to possibly do some dates, maybe with Mann, at the beginning of the new year as well.

Here is the track listing for MP4 (Days Since A Lost Time Accident):

1. "Lucky One"
2. "Whole Truth"
3. "High Time"
4. "Beautiful"
5. "FootDown"
6. "Perfect Candidate"
7. "Don't Let Me Go"
8. "Out Of Its Misery"
9. "Trampoline"
10. "Bucket Brigade"
