Heaven Knows What Time (CD)

Following a whirlwind few years, from touring with Crowded House to taking out Best Alternative Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards and the Taite Music Prize for Ideal Home Noise, Vera Ellen with Heaven Knows What Time. Produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Ben Lemi, the album sees the Te Whanganui-a-Tara champ trading heavy undertones with a sense of simply being. Finding meaning in community never sounded so good. - Flying Out

Aotearoa Music Award and Taite Music Prize winning artist Vera Ellen announces her upcoming album ‘Heaven Knows What Time’ – out on vinyl and CD on May 1st via Flying Nun Records. Three years on from her last full-length project, Ideal Home Noise; which was awarded the prestigious Taite Music Prize for 2023, Vera Ellen has found herself in a whirlwind of unconventionality - learning to embrace the chaos that comes with being a self-sustained artist in today’s constantly driving culture, and finding meaning and joy in community - all themes that inform her new body of work, Heaven Knows What Time. Stepping away from the heavy inner-world of Ideal Home Noise, Heaven Knows What Time is less about thinking and more about just being — embracing the masks we wear, but also allowing ourselves to take them off and bare it all; the exhausted, the messy, the fear, the adventure, and all of the joy too.
