Mannequin Pussy‘s new album I Got Heaven arrives in March, and they’ve shared another single from it, “Nothing Like,” which is inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
“‘Nothing Like’ is pure fantasy,” singer/guitarist Marisa Dabice says. “Originally inspired by a stoned-out night six 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.”
