Blackgaze pioneers DEAFHEAVEN have premiered the first new track off of their new album, Infinite Granite, due August 20th. ‘Great Mass of Color’ features clean, dreamy vocals and serves as a pretty obvious departure from their monumetal style. Listen below and catch the band live later this year at the following shows:
October 15 The UC Theater – Berkeley
October 16 The Theater at Ace Hotel – Los Angeles
Lyrics:
Quiet as a cradle,
I laid in a middle night drift, spinning
Hissed at the moon
Conjured up the flowers
to fix my impression of the gloom
I feel them all
Great mass of color
flooded in my bed
I feel them all
Great mass of color
flooded in my bed
Dissolving into red
Half awake holding my ghost in the morning
Sunlight coming down the bend
Maroon sky on the send
My great former terror
When trees gave doves the leaves
and I was grim drunk deathโ
a stranger to myself
I feel them all
Great mass of color
flooding in my bed
I feel them all
Great mass of color
flooding in my bed
Dissolving into red
Can I accept Iโm real?
Do I need this affection? Do you?
Do you need this confusion? Do you?
Living trapped inside this body
Soft, haunted, waiting, wanting
Measured change evades real healing
Taking love with little reason
Seeing you as I was: behind a locked door,
nervous and a fool
Seeing you as I was: desperate for men to guide you
You are the sea and nobody owns you
