Deafheaven have had an impressive run since the release of the 2013 album Sunbather. When we interviewed them earlier this year the band said all of their success came pretty unexpected. Looking back on it now, who could have imagined that their 2010 demo was recorded out of boredom?
A few weeks ago we posted a live video of Deafheaven playing a new song at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. The track, “From the Kettle Onto the Coil,” is getting released as part of the Adult Swim singles series, and it comes out in time for the band’s upcoming North American tour.
Deafheaven have been a nonstop touring machine for most of 2014. Last week the band made an appearance at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago and played a new song called “From the Kettle Onto the Coil.” This new track is set to be released as part of the Adult Swim singles series and will come just in time for their European tour in August.
You know that interview we did with Deafheaven a few months ago? Frontman George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy told us about their seemingly overnight rise to prominence, and how they were shocked when their demo struck a nerve with people.
Deafheaven announced a wealth of dates in North America and Europe this summer. The band will tour the US with Pallbearer and Wreck & Reference in June, and will head across the pond in August with Chelsea Wolfe on select dates.
