Deafheaven are literally queer-coded (nice haircuts) and have a disability (used to play black metal) and that's the majority of the reason why ya'll don't like them.

Deafheaven continue evolving and release their most consistently impressive and impactful record yet. Gorgeous musical passages and walls of sound are abound, with the band taking more inspiration from shoegaze and post-rock while still sounding uniquely like themselves. George Clark's clean singing voice has a wonderful, haunting goth rock quality to it, perhaps due to the reverb and vocal effects. Much of the production is dense and various instrumental elements blend together beautifully. It's not easy to pick favorites, but a few would be "In Blur," "Great Mass of Color," "Other Language," and "Mombasa."

From Starbucks metal with Sunbather to Abercrombie & Finch post-punk with Infinite Granite, rDeafheaven sure knows how to navigate a mall.

This year seems to be the year of shoegaze for me, there is a lot of amazing shoegaze releases coming out this year and the brand new Deafheaven may take the cake, and it?s not like this project is anything new in the genre. If you have never listened to Deafheaven then welcome, they basically did the one thing any old school fan of black and death metal said you should never do, make death and black metal about the music and not about the brutality. 2018?s ?Ordinary Corrupt Human Love? made it to number 8 on my list that year and for obvious reason, it was the grandest and explosive blackgaze the band had ever made. Blackgaze is their invention and it?s what made them not only stand out from the black metal and shoegaze scene but transcended both and opened the flood gates for black and death metal to be explored into more avant-garde and artists ways than it was originally theorized it shouldn?t. But all great things must come to an end and the writing was on the wall for the end of blackgaze and Deafheaven saw that coming so they are in search of their new sound. ?Infinite Granite? is not the new sound they are looking for, I know they will do something new when it comes time to it. ?Infinite Granite? is sort of a closing of a chapter album for the band and it is an almost flawless showing-casing of it. As blackgaze graduates to more electronic and ambient directions, Deafheaven will search for a new place to turn some heads in?and I can already hear it being hopefully in a more ambient direction.

In the lead-up to Infinite Granite's release, comparisons were drawn to Kid A due rDeafheaven's stylistic departure from previous work, but I honestly think the album is rmost comparable to The King of Limbs. It's a definite stylistic change, but it's not that rfar off from what the band has done in the past. Its tone is a lot more subdued and rintimate than the sprawling epics that fans have come to expect, and as such, it's rclearly disappointing a lot of listeners. But it's a brilliant showcase for the band's rsongwriting chops. Every member of the band (especially Daniel Tracy) and the producer rhave clearly thought through their contributions deliberately and with agonizing detail, rresulting in some of the most gorgeous passages Deafheaven has recorded since Sunbather, rparticularly in the bridges. It might turn off some fans, but to this fan, it's a rtriumph.

The good: Great Mass Of Color, Villain, and the second part of Mombasa (RIP that climax, though. Nice try.) The bad: Everything else. The awful: Lament for Wasps. Final words: it is good once, but not surprised it was worse than Ordinary Boring Human Snoozefest.

This is gonna rule. I have no doubts about it. Some of you might hate this direction but I absolutely love it. Every new single just hits me in all the right ways. Not been as excited for an album from them this much since Sunbather. Edit: after listening: yep, as good as sunbather. Someone punch me; I?m dreaming. It?s blissful.

What a great album! Can't wait to hear more relaxing yet intense music from the rest of Deafhavens discography. Fave tracks: Shellstar, Great Mass of Color, The Gnashing.

A band once effortlessly utilising shoegaze and post-rock leanings in their music now made a bare-bones albums of only the most tepid genre cliches and subpar vocals.

Gazers feel offended more ppl are enjoying this because of proper sick drumms and actual songwriting. 2nd parts of songs and its transitions are super cool. Those 2nd parts are more post alt rock than actual shoe. Its kinda what makes this cooler than your average shugaze bedtalk band.rI could only point out that all tracks follow the same scheme, but that happens in so many bands we all love

I don't mind that it's their least metal album yet, but it is actually just very boring. You could've told me this is some Christian post-rock thing or Turnover b-sides and I would've believed you. "Great Mass Of Color," "The Gnashing," and "Mombasa" are the only tracks that were really solid in any way.

A bit of a dull chore. The vocals are uninteresting in their delivery and wholly offensive in their placement in the mix. I?ve listened and now I?ll just see myself out.
