Early UK Reviews

  • “Surreal, startling, and absorbing, they’ve produced an album which stands as a career best. Legendary, indeed.”The Midlands Rocks
  • “There are many wonderful moments hiding in the shadows of every track. This album begs repeated plays to fully discover all of them.”OutsideLeft
  • “Mellow, almost poppy, slightly psychedelic space rock. It is all very easy on the ear, almost crisp, clean-cut, likeable future-pop maybe?”The Organ

Album Highlights:

Includes the single Blood Money

“Driving, psychedelic-pop, the pumping electronics blend perfectly with the wonderful guitar work.”Handwritten Mag


The Story Behind So Lonely in Heaven

The Legendary Pink Dots began work on So Lonely in Heaven during the global pandemic, writing collaboratively across continents and cyberspace. The album explores themes of technology, humanity, and isolation in a world increasingly dominated by machines.

Frontman Edward Ka-Spel reflects:
“The machine sees everything, hears everything, knows everything… 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 desperate for some kind of explanation. You’ll be lonely. So very lonely….”
