Mannequin Pussy announce their fourth studio album, I Got Heaven

I Got Heaven was produced by John Congleton, and follows the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, and their 2021 EP Perfect.

Speaking of lead track, "I Don't Know You", the band say: “This is simply a song about having a crush. About the excitement and playful fantasy that can come from meeting someone unexpectedly at a festival, or on the street, or in line at the grocery store. You don’t know when you’ll see them again but the rush of their possibility lingers, making you yearn to know more about them.”

Where the band members’ personal lives were in transition with breakups, changing living situations, and periods of self-reevaluation, following the release of Perfect, their time together on the road was a grounding and clarifying force.

By December 2022, the band had 17 new songs written with Congleton in Los Angeles. “Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be,” says Colins “Bear” Regisford.

“There was so much going on in our lives that it was the perfect opportunity to recalibrate who we were as people and musicians,” Regisford continues. The band changed their entire formula, choosing to write together in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton over slowly crafting tracks at home. “When I've written songs, it's usually a very solitary process,” says Dabice. “So this was shedding a lot of those hermit-like qualities to do something intensively collaborative. Your best work comes when you allow other people into it.”
