Albums of the Year 2024 - Number 67

This is the kind of music to beat up bullies to. I adore its fierce, feral, life-giving energy. I also adore its tender melodic bliss. This is by far their finest achievement. The pantheon of quiet-loud stars of old, the likes of Kim Deal, Black Francis, Kurt Cobain and PJ Harvey, might need to make some room. - Paddy, Rough Trade OfficeAlbums of the Year So Far 2024

Mannequin Pussy's music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard.

Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins "Bear" Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. "There's just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ," says Dabice. "The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together."

Their new album, I Got Heaven, which is out via Epitaph Records, is the band's most fully realised recording yet. Over ten ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It's a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.

Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band's official lineup. The band changed their entire creative formula, choosing to write together in the studio in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton, over slowly crafting tracks at home. "Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be," says Regisford.
