Deaf Havana Rituals CD

UK 5-piece Deaf Havana are set to release their fifth studio album Rituals through SO Recordings.

The album was written and recorded less than six months ago, as a challenge taken up by

James Veck-Gilodi (vocals) & Phil Gornell (Co-producer) to subvert the band’s writing process and present songs representative of the band in the present. 

A recurring theme on the album is one of struggle and redemption.  Now happily married and feeling secure of his place in the world for the first time in his life, James’ lyrics cover the themes of disconnect, wrestling with the self and letting go of personal demons. The music is in turn introspective and joyous, with help from the London Contemporary Voices choir who feature on five tracks.
