Final week, Philadelphia indie-punks Model Pussy, a Stereogum Band To Watch means again in 2016, introduced some huge plans. They’ve purchased again their masters from Tiny Engines, their former label, and so they’re reissuing their 2016 sophomore album Romantic on their very own newly-formed label Romantic Data. However Model Pussy aren’t simply reissuing their older music. They’ve additionally simply launched a brand-new single.

Model Pussy recorded their new single “I Received Heaven” with veteran indie rock producer John Congleton, and it’s a revved-up anthem that strikes from stomp-scream fuzz-rock fury to twinkly shoegaze melody and again once more. Lyrically, bandleader Marisa Dabice is on her Patti Smith shit: “And what if we stopped spinning?/ And what if we’re simply flat?/ And what if Jesus himself ate my fucking snatch?” It’s Model Pussy’s first new track since their 2021 EP Good, although Dabice appeared on the remix of Dazy and Militarie Gun’s “Strain Cooker” final 12 months. Model Pussy haven’t introduced a brand new report but, however there’s extra new music on the best way.

Right here’s what Marisa Dabice says about “I Received Heaven”:

“I Received Heaven” is a track supposed to merge the sacred and the profane and to function a reminder that we’re all excellent precisely as we now have been made and that nobody will get to resolve how a life ought to or shouldn’t be lived. Heaven is right here on a planet that gave us every part we would have liked to outlive. Heaven is within the vegetation and within the water and within the animals who we share this world with. Heaven is within me and within you. The weaponization of Christianity for political means, for particular person revenue and energy, as a software to deliberately divide us, is without doubt one of the biggest threats to our fashionable world and a menace to our potential to seek out solidarity by means of love. To permit the hatred and the violence and the noise to rise is to reject our sacred objective as people, which is solely to like.

Mason Mercer and Anthony Miralles directed the “I Received Heaven” video, which has a daylight gothic folk-horror storyline and which is perhaps evenly NSFW. Model Pussy are touring the US this fall with Actions, Softcult, and Coronary heart To Gold. They’ve additionally bought some European dates, and so they’re enjoying Coheed And Cambria’s cruise.
