Mannequin Pussy have shared their latest single ‘Sometimes’, along with dates for a 2024 North American tour.
‘Sometimes’ is the third single to be released from the band’s forthcoming fourth studio album ‘I Got Heaven’. The track follows ‘I Don’t Know You‘ and the lead single ‘I Got Heaven‘. The LP is set for release on March 1, 2024 via Epitaph Records. Pre-order the album here.
Speaking about the song in a press release, frontperson Marisa “Missy” Dabice said: “‘Sometimes’ is the internal conversation and subsequent battle that comes with facing your own desires.”
They continued: “It is a song about the struggle of feeling a deep need for one’s independence while at the same time accepting that you are longing for someone who would understand you and be enough to draw you away from your solitude. It is the anger you feel at someone for making you feel desire. For allowing that desire to distract you from your work and your self and your mission.”
‘I Got Heaven’ has been described as a “visceral and stunning album for people who aren’t content with the status quo”, made by people who challenged themselves and got out of their comfort zone, per the press release.
”We’re supposed to be living in the freest era ever so what it means to be a young person in this society is the freedom to challenge these systems that have been put on to us,” said Dabice. “It makes sense to ask, what ultimately am I living for? What is it that makes me want to live?”
The band have also announced a 2024 North American tour. It will kick off on April 2024 with stops across major cities such as Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York, Austin, Seattle, Philadelphia and more. Fan pre-sale for the tour has begun and is accessable with the code “HEAVEN”. General ticket sale will commence on Friday, November 17 at 10am ET. Visit here for tickets.
