| Description: | Mannequin Pussy??s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock
band that consists of Colins ??Bear? Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and
Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) 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 new album, I Got Heaven, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records, is the band??s most fully realized recording yet. Over ten ambitious
tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative 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.
Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They
toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band??s official lineup. The band changed their entire creative
formula, choosing to write together in the studio in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton , over slowly crafting tracks at home. ??Everyone
felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be,? says Regisford. - "I Got Heaven" is a powerful CD release by the Philadelphia-based band Mannequin Pussy, presented here in a high-quality edition from the renowned punk and alternative label Epitaph Europe / Indigo. The album captures the group's signature blend of raw punk urgency, melodic indie rock and emotionally charged songwriting, weaving together explosive outbursts and intimate, vulnerable moments. Across the tracks, "I Got Heaven" deals with themes such as desire, anger, self-determination and healing, translating deeply personal experiences into cathartic, loud and often anthemic songs that invite both reflection and release. The production emphasizes dynamic contrasts: jagged guitars and driving drums collide with atmospheric passages and catchy hooks, resulting in a listening experience that feels immediate, honest and uncompromising from start to finish. As a CD, this edition is ideal for listeners who value physical media, complete artwork and the possibility to experience the album as a cohesive whole rather than as isolated tracks.
Mannequin Pussy have built a strong reputation in the international punk and indie scene for their intense live performances and their ability to connect emotionally with audiences. Over the past years, they have moved from an underground insider tip to a widely recognized band, receiving critical acclaim from music press and a dedicated fanbase for their blend of aggression and melody. Their releases are often praised for confronting personal and social issues with a disarming honesty that resonates far beyond genre boundaries. The band's evolving sound - from fierce, lo-fi beginnings to more nuanced and richly produced records - has marked them out as one of the most compelling contemporary acts to emerge from the modern punk landscape.
The CD is released by Epitaph Europe / Indigo, the European branch and distribution partner associated with the legendary independent label Epitaph. Epitaph is known for its strong catalog of punk, hardcore, emo and alternative rock, having supported and developed some of the most influential guitar bands of the past decades. Through its collaboration with Indigo, Epitaph Europe ensures professional distribution, careful manufacturing quality and well-curated releases for the European market. Buyers of this CD can therefore expect a product that not only stands out musically, but also meets high standards in terms of packaging, sound quality and overall presentation. |
