Deaf Havana

Rituals

The highly anticipated fifth full length album from the incredible alt-rockers Deaf Havana, and they're back with a huge dose of anthemic pop injected into their already towering discography. This is a band that you must have in your collection if you're a fan of Twin Atlantic, You Me At Six, Lower Than Atlantis, The Xcerts or Mallory Knox.

Rituals is the result of throwing out the ‘Deaf Havana rulebook’: first; James 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. They set themselves a deadline of April to finish writing, and if any of it was any good, they would make it available by August. No more waiting half a decade for people to finally hear any music.
