Mannequin Pussy announce new album I Got Heaven, share "I Don't Know You"
After recently releasing their new single “I Got Heaven,” Mannequin Pussy have now announced a new album of the same name. It’s due March 1 via Epitaph (preorder), and it was made with producer John Congleton in a more collaborative fashion than Mannequin Pussy usually work.
“When I’ve written songs, it’s usually a very solitary process,” singer/guitarist Marisa Dabice says. “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.”

“Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be,” bassist Colins “Bear” Regisford adds.
In addition to the previously released title track, the album also includes new single “I Don’t Know You,” which Dabice says 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.”
“There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act,” she adds. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”
The video for “I Don’t Know You” was once again directed by Mason Mercer and Anthony Miralles. Check it out below.
