DEAFHEAVEN RELEASE NEW ALBUM INFINITE GRANITE  LISTEN HERE TICKETS FOR N. AMERICAN TOUR AVAILABLE NOW    as beguiling and captivating as any of the band’s most dizzying peaks - DECIBEL This is a great, great album, one that exists entirely on its creators’ terms. - 5/5 THE GUARDIAN REVIEW Everything works perfectly here. Like, perfectly. These are clearly the tightest and most deliberately constructed songs ever written by Deafheaven - STEREOGUM Deafheaven have flipped the script...tighter, leaner, hazier than anything they've done - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   Infinite Granite is their biggest left turn yet, with radiant, arena-ready production from Justin Meldal-Johnsen…and clean, melodic vocals (and honest-to-god choruses) from frontman George Clarke. - PITCHFORK    despite all these radical shifts, Infinite Granite still sounds unmistakably like a Deafheaven album: expansive, uncompromising, and extreme — even when that doesn’t mean heavy. - FADER   The outcome is sheer brilliance. - FORBES   strives toward supersonic heights - ROLLING STONE

Guitarists Kerry McCoy and Shiv Mehra expand their sonic palette to include synth textures using them to enrich their astral guitar work rather than outright replace it. Drummer Daniel Tracy has always been a force to reckon with behind the kit, but where he used to floor audiences with his speed and stamina, he’s now free to broaden his approach and lay down authoritative drum patterns that together with bassist Christopher Johnson’s punchy bass lines anchor the band’s lofty arrangements. Ultimately, Infinite Granite is Deafheaven’s most goosebump-inducing album to date. The band has an upcoming 25 date tour with the first two shows this October in Berkeley and Los Angeles, CA. The rest of the tour kicks off in Phoenix on February 22, 2022 wrapping at Treefort Music Festival on March 24th making stops in Austin, DC, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Denver, Seattle and more (full dates below). Tickets are on sale now and you can go to deafheaven.com for more info.
