At this point, the only sure thing in relation to all new material from Deafheaven is that one should not be expecting anything with absolute certainty. What we get from The Gnashing, the band's second single off the anticipated next album of theirs, Infinite Granite, is some very heavy shoegaze with psychedelic and progressive proclivities, as the band seem to be reaching higher levels of maturation.
Judging from both the band's past, as well as the immediate appeal of the first pair of singles which came ahead of the impending full length, this new direction appears like something that they can definitely pull off with more than impressive results.
Infinite Granite was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, with Jack Shirley remaining on board to engineer part of the album. It comes out in its entirety on August 20th, 2021 via Sargent House.
