Worlds Apart

Song in my head:
"Worlds Apart" by . . . And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

Brother Joshua now has a blog. I played drums with him in Voigt and he currently plays in Chatterton.

I was not sure where Deafheaven would go after another record that brought My Bloody Valentine and death metal fans together, but they beautifully rebooted their sound on Infinite Granite. The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats. Sounding more inspired by Slowdive, the band has discovered a new sonic palette that I hope they explore more of in the future. It’s a welcome revelation. I still love their older material, but this has renewed my love of what these gu...
