From Bandcamp January 2025:
Way way back in the early days I used to say a lot about ‘The Terminal Kaleidoscope’ , a concept comparing the fragile planet we live on to a drowning human being with life flashing before his or her eyes, the images constantly accelerating. It’s 2024, a little over 2 decades since the turn of this unbearably turbulent century and the concept appears to have become an unlikely soap opera where we are the cast. Let’s hang in there….. EK
SO LONELY IN HEAVEN – THE CREATION
‘So Lonely in Heaven’ is The Legendary Pink Dots’ second album since the World stopped for a Global Pandemic.
With members scattered across three countries and two continents, our guilty confession is that quite a few Air Miles were consumed in its creation.
Ideas were spun across Cyberspace for months, but the magic happened collectively in small spaces with the tape running.
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…
An auspicious day as “So Lonely in Heaven” is now released officially. Alas we are still waiting for cds and vinyl to arrive in Europe, so we do ask for a little patience. Likewise, the vinyl edition of “Chemical Playschool 23/24” also looks like it will land later than we would have wished (it seems the manufacture of vinyl remains unpredictable and deeply frustrating). The good news is that the CD version of “Chemical Playschool 23/24” HAS now landed and first packages will go out in the coming days…
So Lonely in Heaven is now available as a digital download, CD and vinyl double album through Bandcamp and Metropolis Records.

As per tradition, but hardly a snowflake in sight (sigh)
Apologies from the admin for posting this 4 days late.

Merry Solstice everybody! (ok it’s tomorrow, but I guess that’s close enough..).5 days to Christmas Day so it feels like the appropriate moment to launch the Legendary Pink Dots’ seasonal special for 2024. Happy Solstice everyone!
After nearly 45 years of The Legendary Pink Dots, you’d think we’d be used to the launch of our new album by now. In fact, it’s not the case at all, there’s an almost unbearable childlike excitement at Chez Dots right now as we launch ‘So Lonely in Heaven’. We’ve lived with the finished album for over two months and I can’t deny the temptation to press the ‘Share’ button has been ever present. Still, no need for any more holding back as of today. Here is our link to what feels to us like the first wild daffodil of a Spring Day to come.
