DEAF HAVANA UNLEASH NEW SONG

Copyright: Suede

English alternative rock band Deaf Havana have unleashed a brand new single titled ‘Carousel’, taken from their upcoming album We’re Never Getting Out out 3 October via So Recordings.

Accepting yourself is one of the most daunting, transformative challenges you can face. To look at every part of who you are - your strengths and your flaws, your triumphs and your failures, the lessons learned and the mistakes made - and view them all with equal clarity, takes immense courage. It demands vulnerability, patience, and relentless honesty. But once everything begins to align, once that clarity clicks into place, you’re left wondering why you didn’t begin the journey sooner.

James Veck-Gilodi has been navigating this emotional terrain for much of Deaf Havana’s career. And only now - within the creation of their stunning seventh album, We’re Never Getting Out (out 3 October) - has it finally started to make sense.

It’s the realization that he’s spent years swinging between emotional extremes, never truly finding peace or fulfillment at either end. That every step of the band’s journey - from Top 10 albums and sold-out tours to personal breakdowns and creative rebirths - was often taken for the approval of others, rather than for himself. A constant push and pull between internal expectations and external pressures - a battle that could only last so long before reaching a breaking point.

"I have always wanted to change myself," he explains. "But I've also never really owned up to and accepted my mistakes. I've just punished myself, told myself that I hated myself and ended up cosplaying as a completely different person instead. All it took was for me to take the best parts from everything I have done and apply them without actually trying to totally change who I am in the process. Maybe it's my age or mindset, but I accept who I am now and feel I know how to make myself a good person."

Of new single, ‘Carousel’, James says, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, thats exactly how I’ve felt for the last ten years. Out of control, insane and just spinning around on the same loop, ending up exactly where I started. In the thralls of addiction and my previous relationship, I just felt like there was no way out, I was constantly making the same mistakes and choices that kept putting me right back, if not in a worse place than where I started. Carousel is essentially about feeling so out of control and stuck on a downward spiral that everything feels hopeless, all packaged in a banger of a rock song.”
