MANNEQUIN PUSSY ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM I GOT HEAVEN OUT MARCH 1 ON EPITAPH RECORDS
RELEASE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “I DON’T KNOW YOU”
Mannequin Pussy announce their anticipated new album, I Got Heaven, with a video for “I Don’t Know You.” The album, produced by John Congleton, is due March 1st via Epitaph Records.
Of “I Don’t Know You” Marisa Dabice says “This is simply a song about having a crush. About the excitement and playful fantasy that can come from meeting someone unexpectedly at a festival, or on the street, or in line at the grocery store. You don’t know when you’ll see them again but the rush of their possibility lingers, making you yearn to know more about them.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Dabice said “I Got Heaven is the longing for something new and exciting. There’s a pervasive feeling of longing and horniness to it,” with Rolling Stone adding it “incorporates synths into their sound while sticking firmly to their punk roots,” saying “acts like Mannequin Pussy prove there are still plenty of vital new ideas to be found.”
The announcement follows the release of the album’s title track, “I Got Heaven,” which was named Best New Track by Pitchfork, and praised by outlets like NPR, who called the track “grueling and gorgeous,” The FADER, Consequence, UPROXX and more.
Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.” Their latest I Got Heaven is the band’s most fully realized LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.
Mannequin Pussy is Colins “Bear” Regisford, Kaleen Reading, Maxine Steen and Marisa Dabice.
