Clocking in at nearly 50 minutes, Old Souls offers enough content that it would be difficult to cover in a reasonably sized review, so let the following be made very clear: Deaf Havana have evolved to the point that if someone who knew only their older material were to listen to Old Souls, they wouldn’t have any idea that it was the same band. Yet, this is not a complaint; the fact that their music lacks the edge it once had does certainly not mean that they’ve devolved in musical quality. Sure, there are a few weak tracks. “Subterranean Bull*** Blues” and “22” aren’t exactly gems, but they aren’t filler to the point that they should be skipped. They contribute positively to the album, and overall, despite my initial skepticism when approaching the record, help to form a listening experience far more solid and emotionally impacting than most fans probably expected, no small thanks to the phenomenal vocal performance of Veck-Gilodi (and assorted backing vocalists). From the opening notes of Boston Square to the closing strums of “Caro Padre”, Old Souls is a tour-de-force all across the spectrum of human emotion that has shown itself to be a clear contender as one of the greatest releases of the year.
