The Legendary Pink Dots are back, announcing a new 2xLP titled So Lonely In Heaven, out Jan. 17, 2025 on Metropolis Records. It is the band's second album post-pandemic, with founder Edward Ka-Spel still at the helm and the rest of the band spread out globally.
As described via press release:
SO LONELY IN HEAVEN - THE MESSAGE
The machine is everything we are. It sees everything, hears everything, knows everything and feeds, speeds, drinks us down, spits us out - we lost control of it at the instant of its conception. You may cough, curse and die, but the machine will resurrect you without the flaws, at your peak, smiling from a screen, bidding someone in a lonely room to join you. It's an invitation from Heaven, where anyone can be anything they want to be, but it's a Nation of One. You'll be everything we are. You'll be a shadow of yourself. You'll repeat yourself - endlessly. You'll be desperate for some kind of explanation. You'll be lonely. So very lonely….
The album release will be followed by a European tour.
The current lineup features Edward Ka-Spel (vocals, keyboards, songwriter), Erik Drost (guitars), Randall Frazier (keyboards, electronics), and Joep Hendrikx (live electronics). The group has released more than 40 studio albums to date.
