Last week, Mannequin Pussy announced that they'd bought back their masters from Tiny Engines and would be re-releasing 2016's Romantic on their very own label, Romantic Records. That's cool enough news on its own, but today, Missy Dabice and co. have also shared a brand new song called "I Got Heaven."
"I Got Heaven" is an absolute rager, with Dabice grappling with ideas of purity and Christian Salvation over pummelling verses that bloom into a gorgeous shoegazy chorus. "And what if we stopped spinning? / And what if we're just flat? / And what if Jesus himself ate my fucking snatch?" she snarls at one point.
In a statement about the song, she said:
"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.
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.
The song comes attached to a sick, vaguely NSFW farmcore video that finds Dabice as a sort of vengeful witch, terrifying the local children and thrashing naked in a field. Dabice is a magnetizing music video performer (revisit the "Control" video if you need a reminder), and "I Got Heaven" is no different.
Check it out below.
