Today, Mannequin Pussy has released the mind-be ding music video for their new single, “Nothing Like.” The song is lifted from their upcoming album, I Got Heaven, which will be released on March 1st via Epitaph Records.
The video was created by AI artist and director Connor Clarke with creative direction by Anthony Miralles and Mason Mercer of Slips Studios.
Of the song, Mannequin Pussy’s Marisa Dabice says “‘Nothing Like’ is pure fantasy. Originally inspired by a stoned out night 6 years ago spent watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which Buffy is forced to kill her lover, Angel, before he destroys the world. The song existed in fragments until it finally met its final form last year. Young love is so often all consuming, dangerous, and heightened to mythological proportions – ‘Nothing Like’ sought to mix the balance of both the light feelings of new love and the absolute depths that obsession can bring you to.”

Additionally, the band expands their tour in support of I Got Heaven, adding Europe dates to their previously announced North America tour. All dates below.
I Got Heaven is the band’s most fully realized LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks that abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. “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.”
