Philadelphia-based indie punk band Mannequin Pussy is releasing a new album, I got Heaven, on March 1 via Epitaph. Now they've shared his fourth single, “Nothing Like,” via a music video. It is the last pre-release single from the album. AI artist and director Connor Clarke created the video, with creative direction by Anthony Miralles and Mason Mercer of Slips Studios. It refers to fairy tales and old Disney cartoons. Check it out below, followed by the band's upcoming tour dates.
The band's Marisa Dabice had this to say about the new song in a press release: “'Nothing Like' is pure fantasy. Originally inspired by an evening spent six years ago watching an episode of it Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which Buffy is forced to kill her lover, Angel, before he destroys the world. The song existed in bits and pieces until it finally saw its final form last year. Young love is so often all-consuming, dangerous and rises to mythological proportions. 'Nothing Like' tried to mix the balance of both the light feelings of new love and the absolute depths that obsession can take you to.”
The band shared the album's title track, “I Got Heaven,” in September via a music video. It was #1 on our song of the week list. When the album was announced, they shared its second single, “I Don't Know You,” via a music video. It was also #1 on songs of the week. They then shared his third single, “Sometimes,” via a music video. “Sometimes” was also one of the songs of the week.
Mannequin Pussy is Colins “Bear” Regisford, Kaleen Reading, Maxine Steen and Marisa Dabice. John Congleton produced the new album.
Of releasing an album in such difficult times, Dabice says, “There's so much going on that feels intentionally bad that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act. The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”
He adds: “We're supposed to be living in the freest age ever, so what it means to be young in this society is the freedom to challenge these systems that have been put in place. It makes sense to ask, what do I live for anyway? What is it that makes me want to live?'
Mannequin Pussy's latest album, Patience, released in 2019 on Epitaphios. In 2021 they released the Perfect ER.
