Though they won’t actually be playing tonight, Heaven is tickled pink to be releasing their 7 inch at 200 Orchard – festivities begin around 9pm on August 23 (tonight). An emerging force in the dreamy New York psych/shoegazer scene (which appears to be getting hotter by the minute), Heaven is a group consisting of some of the local industry’s most influential heavyweights with Matt Sumrow (Dean and Britta), Mikey Jones (Swervedriver, The Big Sleep), Ryan Lee Dunlap (Fan-Tan) and Liz Lohse (ex-Runaway Suns). Crackling synth creates a hazy static against a steady rhythm and mellowing harmonies, in perfect Jesus & Mary Chain style. – Kristen Ferreira
