Deafheaven have lost none of their flare
THE GENRE-SMASHING
COLLECTIVE known as Deafheaven have set up at Riverwood Art Studio in Los Angeles to record a live performance of their polarising new release, Infinite Granite. Not everybody appreciated the band’s directional shift away from their blackgaze roots and towards the poppy, synth-driven atmospherics of post-rock. Most, however, seemed to applaud the album’s dreamy grandeur and it easily claimed a spot in Hammer’s 2021 Top 50 Critics’ Poll.
