"Deafheaven are excited to announce they have confirmed studio time at Atomic Garden with producer Jack Shirley (who also worked on Roads to Judah) from January 21st through January 26."


Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke said the following:


"For this record, we had a couple options with who to record with, but after a lot of thought, agreed that to capture our best performance at our most comfortable state, the best choice was Jack. He's always done a great job and we've grown a lot together in the last two years." th to record their second full-length album, Sunbather.


"While the new material is more developed, we've strayed from what was previously a more melancholic approach. The black metal aspect to our music is prevalent in the new material, but I don't think it's necessarily the focus this time around."


Additionally, lead guitarist Kerry McCoy stated "There are a lot of harsh, dark vibes on Sunbather, but don't be surprised at how lush and rock-driven, even pop-driven certain aspects will be."


Deafheaven's most recent studio album is 2011's brilliant 'Roads to Judah'.


'Sunbather' is set for a Spring (U.S. time) 2013 release.
