NYC-based power-popgaze band Heaven are excited to announce their third full-length album, Dream Aloud, out April 4, 2025, via Little Cloud Records. The band has also released the single "I Need You More Somehow" from the forthcoming LP. Forming an amalgamation of their influences, the single “I Need You More Somehow,” is out now, pairing timeless melodies with layers of reverb-driven guitar. Grounded by sirens of feedback, today’s single previews an album full of emotional exploration tied up in otherwordly instrumentation.

“Both at home on the beach in California or a seedy underground nightclub in Glasgow or Berlin, the song layers two worlds,” says vocalist and guitarist Matt Sumrow. “The lyrics are purposefully ambiguous, needing more of someone and longing for more connection, but also sounding content and blissful with the present situation at the same time.”

Heaven ride a massive sonic wave in delivering their introspective yet dreamy tracks. Matt Sumrow and Mikey Jones created the band in the wake of touring and recording with artists such as Dean And Britta, Swervedriver, Ambulance LTD, Caveman, The Comas, The Lemonheads, and others. Now joined by bassist Sonia Manalili, the NYC-based trio is prepping their first album in 7 years, their most somnambulistic to date, the band’s third full-length, Dream Aloud.

NYC power-popgaze band Heaven share enthralling new single “The Fire You Know" from forthcoming LP Dream Aloud

February 6, 2025

NYC-based power-popgaze band Heaven are excited to share the second single from their upcoming third full-length album, Dream Aloud, out April 4, 2025, via Little Cloud Records. Out now, “The Fire You Know” is a fever dream of a lyrical vision, melancholy orchestral sounds anchored by hi-hats keep fated beliefs and secrets deep inside. Out now with an official music video, today’s single features Megan LaMarca on cello recorded by her husband Anthony LaMarca from The War On Drugs. Heaven’s usual choir of noisy guitars are traded in for lush string arrangements, resulting in complete sonic entracement.

The official music video for “The Fire You Know” was filmed in Upstate New York in and around an early 20th-century farmhouse in Narrowsburg, NY, aptly called the Nowhere House. Directed and shot by Jeska Sand, the excursion from NYC was an escape into the cold snowy recess of winter to find the fire and the warmth needed to conjure the vision, voluntarily stepping into the doorway of the madness that is believing. Stream the new single below along with the previously released single "I Need You More Somehow" both taken from the forthcoming LP due this April.
