UK 5-piece Deaf Havana are excited to announce their new track “Sinner” is available from today to stream and download. The single is taken from the band’s fifth studio album Rituals which was released through SO Recordings.

 

The follow-up to their Top 5 album All These Countless Nights, Rituals is the result of throwing out the ‘Deaf Havana rulebook’: first; James (Veck-Gilodi, vocals) picked the song titles, second; he wrote tracks that fit the theme of those titles, third; everything was written on the computer, then the band came in to play all the parts. Working like this felt like working backwards to James, who had previously only written songs on his acoustic guitar, with continuous input from the rest of the band. James and Phil Gornell (co-producer) set themselves a deadline to finish writing, and if any of it was any good, they would make it available on the album. No more waiting half a decade for people to finally hear any music.

 

Laughingly, James says: “It feels quite self-indulgent. This is the first time I feel like I have made an album that is all for me, written purely for my own enjoyment. I understand that I might alienate some people who might not ‘get’ the album, but I am so fortunate that the band are behind me all the way. Everyone is super excited to get out on the road and play all these songs live.”

 

A recurring theme on the album is one of struggle and redemption. Now happily married and feeling secure of his place in the world for the first time in his life, James’ lyrics cover the themes of disconnect, wrestling with the self and letting go of personal demons. The music is in turn introspective and joyous, with help from the London Contemporary Voices choir, who feature on 5 of the album tracks, including Sinner. Deaf Havana performed with the choir at their only UK show in 2018, when they played an intimate show at London’s Union Chapel for the War Child charity as part of the BRIT awards gigs.

 

Deaf Havana were second from the top of the bill on the Radio 1 stage at Reading & Leeds festival last year.

 

 

The theme of redemption ties into the art the band have wrapped into the album cover, a series by the visual artist Wolf James entitled 'My Love Is Lethal (A personal series dedicated to Letting Go)'.
