Indie-pop quintet Heavenly will pair their already-announced 2026 tour with a brand new album, their first since 1996’s Operation Heavenly. The band—authentic members Amelia Fletcher, Cathy Rogers, Peter Momtchiloff, and Rob Pursey, plus new drummer Ian Button— recorded Freeway to Heavenly with producer Toby Burroughs. Will probably be launched on February 27 by way of Fletcher and Pursey’s label, Skep Wax. You may hear Freeway’s peppy second single, “Excuse Me,” beneath. (Lead single “Portland City” got here out final June.)
In a press release, Heavenly guarantees an album stuffed with songs “of anger, of grief, of empathy, of affection, and set themselves in opposition to the resurgence of the chilly ‘masculine vitality’ that’s making the world a depressing, aggressive place.”
From 1989 to 1996, Heavenly launched 4 studio initiatives earlier than disbanding because of the sudden dying of drummer Matthew Fletcher. The remaining members would quickly rebrand as Marine Analysis and later Tender Lure earlier than formally reuniting in 2023 as Heavenly.
