Heavenly—the UK indie-pop group that was active from 1989 to 1996—have announced vinyl reissues of all four of their studio LPs. Their 1991 debut album, Heavenly vs. Satan, will be re-released first, landing November 11 via Skep Wax. 1992’s Le Jardin de Heavenly will be released in the early summer of 2023, while 1994’s The Decline and Fall of Heavenly, and 1996’s Operation Heavenly will get vinyl re-releases in 2024. In addition to vinyl editions of each album, Heavenly’s reissues will each include a 7″ booklet with lyrics and new liner notes penned by members of the band. Heavenly have also announced (already sold-out) concerts on May 19 and 20 at London’s Bush Hall—their first show in 28 years.
Heavenly’s original lineup comprised lead singer/songwriter Amelia Fletcher, guitarist Peter Momtchiloff, keyboardist/vocalist Cathy Rogers, bassist Rob Pursey, and drummer Mathew Fletcher. Evolving from the band Talulah Gosh, Heavenly formed in Oxford, England at the end of the 1980s, and disbanded following the death of Mathew Fletcher in 1996. The remaining members formed the group Marine Research. During their upcoming London performances, Heavenly will be joined by Ian Button on drums.
In 2020, Heavenly released the collection A Bout De Heavenly: The Singles.
