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—unique members Amelia Fletcher, Cathy Rogers, Peter Momtchiloff, and Rob Pursey, plus new drummer Ian Button— recorded Freeway to Heavenly with producer Toby Burroughs. It will likely be launched on February 27 through Fletcher and Pursey’s label, Skep Wax. You may hear Freeway’s peppy second single, “Excuse Me,” under. (Lead single “Portland Town” 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 power’ that’s making the world a depressing, aggressive place.”
From 1989 to 1996, Heavenly launched 4 studio initiatives earlier than disbanding as a result of sudden loss of life 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.
