It’s a busy news week for Philadelphia’s Mannequin Pussy, who just launched a new label after buying back their masters. Today, they’ve shared the video for a new song called “I Got Heaven.” The track was produced by John Congleton, and the video was directed by Mason Mercer and Anthony Miralles. Check out the video, and the band’s upcoming tour dates, below.
“‘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 said 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 released Patience in 2019, and a press release for “I Got Heaven” notes that more new music is “on the way soon.”
