Despite its namesake, HEAVEN is a gritty and angsty band. Their songs are big, booming and compelling, with an evident pop ethos that straddles indie irreverance and top-40 catchiness. Making good use of the minor-key, grimy vulnerability of grunge and soaring, harmonious refrains reminiscent of Arcade Fire and other early-aughts indie bands, the four-piece of HEAVEN are a tight unit on their most recent LP, All Love Is Blue. The eleven-song album flows seamlessly, with enough variety in each song to keep the listener guessing. It’s clear that for HEAVEN, the sky’s the limit. HEAVEN is playing Mercury Lounge on April 7th with Longwave and Tiger Mountain. Listen to "She’s Closer Than Everyone" below! – Ethan Ames
