Are Deafheaven having their 'Kid A' moment?

“Except during the writing process, we noticed that the riffs weren’t amping up into metallic sections—and everyone was okay with it” - Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke says in a Pitchfork interview about their new album 'Infinite Granite' (out August 20). The production on this album, judging by the two songs released by now, is post-punk big-rock sounding (somebody could mistake them for Interpol), whereas vocals are clean, and melodic. "There are all these little things that are personally satisfying about the switch, and that personal satisfaction was the reason we did it in the first place, you know?".
