Produced by John Congleton, I Got Heaven finds the Philadelphia indie punks on fiery form, with passages of aggressive post-hardcore contrasting with dreamy ethereal shoegaze melodies. It marks their first new song since 2021's 'Perfect' EP, and more new music is expected to follow soon.
Head below to view the track's unnerving folk-horror-themed video, directed by Mason Mercer and Anthony Miralles. Vocalist and guitarist Marisa Dabice commented:
"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.
"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."
In a recent social media post, the four-piece announced the launch of their own label, Romantic Records. Having purchased their masters from former label Tiny Engines, the new imprint will reissue their 2016 debut LP, 'Romantic', on September 25.
Mannequin Pussy will appear at Kentucky's Louder Than Life festival as part of a fall US tour supporting Movements. They'll also play the Primavera Sound Weekender in November, alongside headline shows in Portugal.
