Deafheaven Bring Back the Roar on ‘Lonely People With Power’: Album Review
Post-metal pioneers Deafheaven, who experimented with a calmer sound on their last album, bring back the demon shriek on 'Lonely People With People.'
Now 15 years into their career, the band had made a hard left in their sound with 2021’s “Infinite Granite,” which found singer George Clarke dropping the goblin shriek and singing in a more conventional, dare we say alternative style. Former Beck bassist Justin Meldal Johnson (Wolf Alice, Paramore, M83) is back behind the boards, weaving the instruments into a tropical cyclone one minute and a tidal pool the next. There’s one of their trademark closing opuses, this one titled “The Marvelous Orange Tree,” that’s so epic in scale it almost feels like the soundtrack to the final scene of a film.
