"In Blur" Lyrics:
In blur, father
glanced over stirred
Imagined you laughing
Muddied feet dancing
What is this aching prism?
This prison wincing
Receiving sudden swaths of dogma
Wandering over royal yonder
Wandering over flooded ground again
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
What does daylight look like?
Solitude and falling into respites now
In blur, hovered
Accepted devotion
Unearther, bleeding ark of creation…
Who are you now?
Forgive the trembling love,
I’m weak and acting bold
and alone
#Deafheaven, #InBlur, #InfiniteGranite

Song of the year

[@luancervantes6124]

it's fuckin up there for sure!

[@ficklefartrecordsco3451]

Aww cool, I didn’t know you were a Deafheaven fan

[@CrookedTooth616]

I miss your content. Hope you’re doing okay, and I look forward to more of your covers/videos. Peace and respect. P.S. You’re absolutely right, this song fucking rules. George’s vocals, along with the band’s music, scratch an itch that I couldn’t reach.

[@deanwatson1184]

Last time I saw them, right after Ordinary Corrupt Human Love dropped, they played two songs from Sunbather, if I remember correctly. They know how much Dream House means to fans so they saved it for the encore song and my oh my was it spectacular.

The whole album is incredible. Probably my favorite album of the year. This and Wolf Alice.

Love how the songs in this album shift ever so slightly in style as the previous ones did :) Such an unique band

[@virus3103]

Nice to hear an album with a cohesive collection of interconnected songs. 10/10. Congratulations to the band for the nice move.

[@DalaceE]

Just saw them live last night and they played this and honeycomb and so many other great songs. Fucking amazing show. The guitarist is one of the best musicians I've even seen. Reminded me of when I saw Angus from ACDC back in 08. Such raw talent. Holy Fawn the openers were insanely good as well, check em out if you like deafheaven.

[@troublednamed8054]

I came here after listening to holy fawn and read in the comments about this band,best thing I did in a while 😊

[@marshallsmith619]

I was pretty upset when I heard the first single, but with each release, the new sound is growing on me. Still a fantastic band and you can hear it's still them, especially in the drums.

[@joseantonioperezjimenez4182]

Oh my god music can grow on you who could tell!!

[@SiD19884]

the way deafheven changed over the years, reminds me of how I have changed... Used to be restless, angry, intense.. but now is just mostly empty, sad and slower emotional tempo in life. So i understand their artistic maturity on personal level.

[@stevemiller4494]

A lot of bands chang their style to try to appeal to a wider audience and it comes down to just wanting more money..... Most people call that selling out not actually maturing..... Unless you consider the greater desire for money as being more mature..... I just found this band and this guy told me about them gave me some of their original stuff which was really hardcore metal..... Even though this music here is beautiful it is definitely a band that has lost their roots and appealing to the masses.....

Pepole must have in their minds that everything change, including us, Imagine a life where you play the same thing for the rest of your days... let them do their music, let them experiment and support them if you are a real fan. Deafheaven is one of my top 5 bands ever and god it feels good to love this band

[@Skordalias4]

Kinda reminds me of the artistic turn that Paradise Lost decided to make with "One second" - everybody hated them at the time but after all these years they give them credit for their bold choices.

[@sqshooter]

But most hate from metalheads was for Host.)

[@thomas.i.mcgill]

Reminds me of Like Gods of the Sun by My Dying Bride.

[@pizzapouskuzei]

That's why we need to stop labeling bands. We just create hollow expectations on how they must sound.

[@jix3324]

One Second was a bizarre stylistic shift but it ended up being their 3rd best album.

[@Humr666]

I was literally about to say that Deafheaven's evolution reminds me of Paradise Lost. If they do follow the same path as Paradise Lost, I fully expect them to release a raw black metal album ten years from now.

[@bradatjimijaks]

I’m not sure words can describe how much I love this. I have binged every single from this new release so much. Pure gold dudes, cannot wait for this to drop.

[@ACEshredZ]

It also has to be said that Deafheaven nail their videos. Honeycomb, and now this...Beautiful stuff. Sometimes music videos take away from the listening experience, but not with Deafheaven. Sublime nostalgia.

[@romulobandeira682]

Deafheaven consegue alcançar enorme beleza em suas músicas, com puro talento e alta capacidade de compor. Assisti ao vivo tocarem essa canção, foi emocionante demais.

i feel like this album is gonna be a shoegaze masterpiece. this sound is pure musical bliss.

[@afcsabin]

what's the specific genre? team sleep sounds like this aswell but i don't feel like they are shoegaze. It's somehow a combination of post metal and shoegaze. Do you know any simmilar bands?

[@nefyt278]

@@afcsabinI'd recommend the album panopticon by Isis

[@thegreatbritishgamer751]

Nah, Absolutely Nothing (lol) recent compares to the OG 90's albums. Storm in Heaven, Whirlpool, Split, Raise, Ferment, In Ribbons, Nowhere, Just for a Day, Everything's All Right Forever, Loveless. All mini cult classics.

[@nefyt278]

@alalx jjnnz he specifically asked for post metal and shoegaze combinations. Well panopticon sounds a culmination of both to me. We cannot define these genres on names, without experiencing them.

[@philipslimak5675]

What's especially remarkable about these new Deafheaven's songs is the newfound sense of optimism rarely present in their previous work. It's amazing how they combine blue-toned atmosphere in their new songs with this abovementioned sense of optimism which is usually associated with bright colors around orange, red and yellow.

[@Choco-9s]

Love it. The album's direction (based on the singles so far) reminds me a bit of Shelter by Alcest.

[@Choco-9s]

@iamjacksbrokenheart Just a bit because Shelter was shoegazy af, but here I feel like they have more influences going on (all things post-punk, gothic…).

[@ibelieveicansoar]

I saw Deafheaven open for Alcest in 2012, so this makes sense. Other modern bands that have made dramatic heavy-to-dreamy progressions are Constants and Turnover, not to mention Swervedriver, Deftones, Catherine Wheel, and many more ‘90s bands.
