Deaf Havana Album

Norfolk, UK, based band Deaf Havana. They've put out some of my favourite releases of the past few years. They mix alt rock and pop, and have nostalgic and internally probing lyrics.

Video for the lead single 'Sinner' from the newest album:

 

So pumped for this one.

 

Also should post this second song they have released, called Hell:

 

Hell kinda bored me but I’ll check this out. James is a great singer and I feel like this band deserves more love

 

Got my advance of this... really really great album. They managed to pull off a pretty significant sound change without missing a step, and this is some of James' most emotionally honest and compelling songwriting to date.

Not to spoil anything, but... Deaf Havana has always had great, emotionally resonant album closers to me. This may be their most emotionally powerful closing track ever. A very different ending than on their past albums, and one that brought me to tears the first time I heard it.

 

A couple other notes:

-"Pure" is my SOTY.
-One of the other songs, I won't say which one, is strikingly reminiscent of Breakaway-era Kelly Clarkson. Was kind of random, but the song actually rules.

 

So jealous right now.

 

Oh man I REALLY want to hear this. Glad to hear that it's good, and that someone thinks there is a song even better than Sinner which is my SOTY right now.

 

Okay, now I'm stoked.

 

This album covers a pretty big amount of sonic ground while consistently falling into “pop rock” in some form or another. Yet it also feels pretty cohesive, several tracks reference each other and the whole album flows really nicely.

“Pure” is like if The Gaslight Anthem made an ‘80s pop jam, I can’t get over how great that song is.

 

man Sinners is great, haven't been able to get into much of this band's work but this might be the one

 

Bumping this thread to again say this album rules and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. I really think they nailed this one... gonna have my review up near release.

 

Think we're getting another song tonight, if I'm interpreting James' Instagram story correctly.

 

VERY good single choice One I was thinking they might release as a single down the road

 

Actually looks like it's already out there if you know where to look lol... the song is "Holy".

 

Unless it's streaming somewhere, I'm fine with waiting 2 more hours. This album releasing will be a fantastic ending to my 4 week summer vacation. I'll be going back to the office and blasting this album 8 hours a day. I've already converted a couple of colleagues into DH-fans because of my excessive listening to their discography, heh.

 

Yeah I am super hyped. I have high hopes for this album.

 

Yep, another certified banger.

 

Yep the new song is an absolute banger.

God I love this band.

 

Why does no one ever post the song when it’s a banger

Fuck

 

Here let’s listen to it

 

Listened to the new songs all in a row and now I am PUMPED.

 

Another song released - Rituals.
damn this album will be good

 

Hell yeah. That’s a good one.

 

Listening to all the released songs in a row rn...this will be great, and if @beachdude42 says so I trust his judgement lol
