Mannequin Pussy have shared a new single called “Sometimes”, following up previous tracks “I Don’t Know You” and “I Got Heaven” in previewing their new album which is due in March. Of their new song, vocalist Marisa Dabice explains:
“‘Sometimes’ is the internal conversation and subsequent battle that comes with facing your own desires. 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.”
As with previous single “I Don’t Know You”, Mannequin Pussy utilise dreamy tones and textures to render their internal landscape. However, here, there is frustration amidst the mixture of emotions, allowing Mannequin Pussy to inject some crunchy guitars and more gnarly vocal takes from Dabice. This sees the song whip itself up into a torrent of anger and confusion, a tornado of conflicting thoughts that comes flying out in a mosh-ready rock out.
Watch the clip for “Sometimes” below or find the song on streamers.
Mannequin Pussy’s new album I Got Heaven arrives on March 1 through Epitaph (pre-order/save). You can find the band on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
