I don't believe in liking a band just because they came from/live in your town. That's like limiting
yourself to one genre, or living for trends. Music wasn't made for that.
If someone told me there was an amazing band from King's Lynn, in all honesty, I probably
wouldn't believe you. Because I don't associate the word 'amazing' with this town at all.
But it's true...
They are Deaf Havana and they are indeed amazing.
I didn't manage to buy a physical copy of their album until 2 days after it was released, because
it was sold out. Which is why it's taken me this long to write about it...
Fools And Worthless Liars
'The Past Six Years' is a perfect opening track for the album! And possibly my favourite on the album.
Acoustics?! Yes.
I don't often listen to an album from beginning to end, like a lot of people, I pick and choose.
Listening to The Past Six Years made it possible for me to listen from the start and be content with just listening through.
The beginning vocals on 'I will try' are amazing. My automatic reaction was 'instant
favourite' and that was just a few seconds in. It just got better and better. The lyrics are kind of incredible too! Which just makes me love it even more.
I noticed a few people saying that it's a lot 'different' than what Deaf Havana done
previously. And that this album isn't 'rock' enough. I think there are a lot of songs on Fools
and Worthless Liars packed full of rock and there were genuine moments I had belief it could be a brilliant rock album if people gave it a chance.
Songs like 'Anemophobia' are a perfect example.
Luckily a lot of people are giving it a chance, including a four K review from Kerrang!
Rock sound gave it a 9 and it got a 9/10 from ourzonemag.com
And a whole bunch of proud tweets from fans.
And considering I couldn't get it for 2 days... I would say it's doing pretty well.
And so it should!
