Deaf Havana: All These Countless Nights

A few weeks back, we chatted with Matt from Deaf Havana about their new album All These Countless Nights, which drops tomorrow!  We also got a chance to listen to the new tunes ahead of time, and since we're all about cluing fans in on the best new music, here's what we thought about the album. 


All These Countless Nights lures you in, its opening track "Ashes to Ashes" creeping in with a fade-in introduction, leading to an explosive chorus.  Rolling right into the second track, pop rock tune "Trigger" keeps the energy up and begs your to bob your head along to its melody.

Acoustic version of the single "Trigger"

As Matt mentioned during our interview, this album ebbs and flows, and features more diversity than the last album Old Souls.  Some of our favorite tracks on the album, "L.O.V.E" and "Like a Ghost" contain crazy dynamics throughout, the latter even containing an epic guitar solo, while "Happiness" and "Pretty Low" remain on the more mellow side.  

If you're looking for music to dance to, "Fever" and "England" both have those thick, groovy bass lines, pleading your feet to move along.  "Seattle" has that kind of stadium "turn-your-flashlight-on-your-phone and sway" feel about it, while "Sing" is perfect for driving with the windows down and drumming on the steering wheel. 

The album stays true to Deaf Havana's style almost solely due to lead singer James Veck- Gilodi's distinguishable vocal tone and narrative songwriting style, but the sonic variety from track to track definitely pushes the band past boundaries.  We definitely recommend giving this one a listen!

You can order physical copies of the album here, or order it on iTunes here. 

Favorite three tracks: "Seattle," "England,"  "Sing"
