INHEAVEN’s growing cult of devotees looks set to expand exponentially when they release their self-titled debut album on September 1st.

Produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Pixies, The Maccabees) The album kicks off with ‘Baby’s Alright’, in which a prominent bassline that evokes the arresting openings of bands like The Ramones and The Damned merges into a rabble-rousing melody to make for a rallying call to arms. Although INHEAVEN are best known for evoking Slowdive and My Blood Valentine by layering dreamy vocals on vast waves of distorted guitars on tracks such as ‘Regeneration’, ‘Vultures’ is a very different beast. Its doomy, metallic opening riff erupts into life before Chloe Little’s urgently enunciated vocals provoke a radical change of pace. Not to be outdone, JamesTaylor’s stream-of-consciousness hook is delivered in a feral rush of punk ‘n’ roll.

INHEAVEN’s foundations were set when vocalist/guitarist James Taylor and bassist Chloe Little bonded over a shared love of bands who inspire young people to see the world in a different way. The pair embarked on an audio-visual project, recruiting their neighbour Jake Lucas on lead guitar and Joe Lazarus on drums. To test out their creative compatibility, Little put together a 30 second video of images and asked Taylor to write music over it.

Things clicked into place pretty fast as they wasted no time getting the word out intheir own unique way. They set up a mysterious website with hidden videos, made fanzines, produced their own artwork, and sent their songs to blogs around the world. Things began to hot up for the band after the releases of their first official single‘Regeneration’ on Julian Casablancas’ Cult Records label.
