Gong Release New Music Video for "Stars In Heaven"

The legendary psych rock band Gong has unveiled a new music video for their latest single, "Stars In Heaven."

Details About the New Release

"Stars In Heaven" is the first single from Gong's upcoming album Bright Spirit, set to be released in 2026 through Kscope. This album promises to be the most vibrant and kaleidoscopic work from the band’s current lineup.

Artist Commentary on the Album

“It’s such an eclectic record. This is the most colourful and kaleidoscopic album so far from this incarnation of the band. There are Eastern-infused epics, long instrumental jazz-inspired sections, meditative and cosmic detours and blistering, incendiary psychedelic rock. When picking the first song to be released, it has felt as if there’s an extra weight on the choice, as if the song somehow has to represent the whole album.” – Kavus Torabi, singer and guitarist

Philosophy Behind the Single

“If you are a cynical, defensive or suspicious person, then that’s the world you’ll inhabit. You’ll see mean-spirited behaviour and selfishness all around you but it’s always a choice. I think perhaps some people forget that. That’s not the world I live in, nor would I want to. It’s a sad old world for sure but it’s also a beautiful one bursting with hope, possibility, wonder and magic in every single moment.” – Kavus Torabi

Further details about Bright Spirit will be shared as the release date approaches.

Summary

Gong's new single "Stars In Heaven" previews their upcoming album Bright Spirit, showcasing an eclectic mix of psychedelic, jazz, and Eastern influences paired with a hopeful outlook on life.
