Last week, Mannequin Pussy announced they’ve bought back their masters from their former label, Tiny Engines, and launched their own imprint, Romantic Records. Today, they’ve released a new single, ‘I Got Heaven’, their first new music since 2021’s Perfect EP. It was produced by John Congleton and comes with a video directed by Mason Mercer and Anthony Miralles. Check it out below, along with the band’s upcoming tour dates.
“‘I Got Heaven’ is a song intended to merge the sacred and the profane and to serve as a reminder that we are all perfect exactly as we have been made and that no one gets to decide how a life should or should not be lived,” Marisa Dabice explained in a statement. “Heaven is here on a planet that gave us everything we needed to survive. Heaven is in the plants and in the water and in the animals who we share this world with. Heaven is inside of me and inside of you. The weaponization of Christianity for political means, for individual profit and power, as a tool to intentionally divide us is one of the greatest threats to our modern world and a threat to our ability to find solidarity through love. To allow the hatred and the violence and the noise to rise is to reject our sacred purpose as individuals, which is simply to love.”
Mannequin Pussy’s most recent LP, Patience, came out in 2019. Last year, Dabice appeared on a remix of Dazy and Militarie Gun’s ‘Pressure Cooker’. A press release notes more new music is “on the way soon.”
