“Lonely People With Power” is set for release on March 28 via DEAFHEAVEN‘s new label home, Roadrunner Records. The band has also shared the album’s first single “Magnolia”, which is available on all streaming platforms and is joined by an official music video directed by Sean Stout and Chelsea Jade.
Recorded with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (St. Vincent, M83) and mixed by Zach Weeks of GodCity Studio, “Lonely People With Power” follows DEAFHEAVEN‘s 2021 studio album, “Infinite Granite”, which saw the Grammy-nominated band charting new ground and expanding stylistic boundaries. On “Lonely People With Power”, DEAFHEAVEN again confound expectations, piling element on element, and towering towards the sky with their most ambitious release yet. Tracked at EastWest Studios, “Lonely People With Power” includes additional vocal contributions from Jae Matthews of BOY HARSHER and Paul Banks of INTERPOL.
“Lonely People With Power” is available for pre-order / pre-save, with a 2x LP deluxe edition and several limited-edition vinyl color variants available in DEAFHEAVEN‘s store.
Originally formed in San Francisco, DEAFHEAVEN is comprised of vocalist George Clarke, guitarists Kerry McCoy and Shiv Mehra, bassist Christopher Johnson and drummer Daniel Tracy. The band gained widespread acclaim for their groundbreaking 2013 album “Sunbather”, which redefined the margins of heavy music, earning esteemed spots on Rolling Stone‘s “100 Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time” and Pitchfork‘s “200 Best Albums Of The 2010s.” DEAFHEAVEN again challenged genre conventions on 2015’s “New Bermuda”, earning widespread acclaim, while their 2018 LP “Ordinary Corrupt Human Love” garnered the band their first-ever Grammy nomination in the “Best Metal Performance” field. Always moving forward, the band’s 2021 album “Infinite Granite” continued their evolution and galvanized with a refinement pointed at lusher textures and lilting melodies. Revered for their transcendental live shows, DEAFHEAVEN have toured the world over performing at festivals such as Coachella and Primavera Sound, while sharing stages with everyone from SLIPKNOT and KNOCKED LOOSE to CHELSEA WOLFE and MONO.
