After the release of Fools and Worthless Liars, they set pretty high standards to beat in the makings of their 3rd album (especially if you listened to the alternative version of Fools and Worthless Liars which was utter perfection). Funnily enough, they proved everyone wrong and created something that was alone better than anything they had done previously. In addition to the newer sound, Deaf Havana took on 2 new members Max Britton and Matthew Veck-Gilodi (James’ younger brother Matthew who dropped out of college to play with the band on their festival dates at Reading and Leeds, since then has had a permanent place) Their first release off their new record was Boston Square which was an insight to where the band has moved musically to. With this track there’s elements of their older albums with the punky guitar riffs, which as the album leads on is lost and replaced with mature experimental sounds, featuring trumpets and choirs.
One thing with this band is that they can hide deeper meanings behind music that transports you to a better place. They might write lyrics that reflect their lowest points, but the music makes you want to belt out the songs wherever you are.
