A month ago, Deafheaven announced a new album, Infinite Granite. Alongside that announcement arrived the lead single, “Great Mass Of Color,” which marked a clear stylistic shift for the group. On the song, singer George Clarke showed a newfound focus on clean vocals, which gave the track a less heavy sound overall.
Now, they’ve followed that song up with “The Gnashing,” and while it continues the band’s tradition of their epic guitar-based sound, it seemingly confirms that Clarke’s less hardcore vocals are here to stay.
Listen to “The Gnashing” above. The band also announced new tour dates for 2022, so find all of their upcoming shows below.
