Philadelphian-based indie punk band Mannequin Pussy shared a new song this week, “I Got Heaven,” . The new single is out now via Epitaph Records. The band starts a tour next week.
Mannequin Pussy is Colins “Bear” Regisford, Kaleen Reading, Maxine Steen, and Marisa Dabice. John Congleton produced the new song and more new music is promised soon.
Dabice had this to say in a press release: “‘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.”
Mason Mercer and Anthony Miralles directed the video. Vocals, Lyrics & Melody by Marisa Dabice Guitar & Synths by Maxine Steen Bass by Colins Regisford Drums by Kaleen Reading
The band have also announced that they are reissuing their long out of print 2016 album, “Romantic”, on their new Romantic Records imprint.
