Legendary psych outfit Gong are back today their new single \u2018Stars In Heaven\u2019 alongside a brand new music video created by Drain Hope<\/a>. The band have also teased the release of their new album which fans will see in 2026 and shared the album\u2019s name \u2013 Bright Spirit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such an eclectic record,\u201d says singer and guitarist Kavus Torabi. \u201cThis 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\u2019s an extra weight on the choice, as if the song somehow has to represent the whole album.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyrically it expands on the idea that the world is as you are. \u201cIf you are a cynical, defensive or suspicious person, then that\u2019s the world you\u2019ll inhabit,\u201d continues Kavus. \u201cYou\u2019ll see mean-spirited behaviour and selfishness all around you but it\u2019s always a choice. I think perhaps some people forget that. That\u2019s not the world I live in, nor would I want to. It\u2019s a sad old world for sure but it\u2019s also a beautiful one bursting with hope, possibility, wonder and magic in every single moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
