Six years is a long time. Seahaven, the Torrance, California alt-rock outfit, are back with “Midnight Hour,” the lead single from their upcoming self-titled fourth studio album, due June 5 on Pure Noise Records. It is their first new material since 2019’s ‘Halo of Hurt,’ and it lands with the weight of a band that has taken its time.
The single captures the tension between melancholy reflection and cathartic release that runs throughout the record. Self-produced and engineered by Alex Estrada at Pale Moon Ranch in Juniper Hills, California, the album was mixed and mastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Will Yip. The bones of the record were written primarily by vocalist and guitarist Kyle Soto, who began the album in April 2025 with “Wedding Bells” and built outward from there, often completing full song outlines in a single night.
“I wasn’t consciously trying to put it all into songs,” Soto explains, “but I’d sit down with a guitar to see what would happen, and I’d end up writing.” Once the initial ideas were formed, Soto brought them to guitarist Cody Christian, bassist Mike DeBartolo, and drummer Eric Findlay, and the band recorded together at Pale Moon Ranch.
The self-titled framing is deliberate. “This album takes elements from all of our previous releases and rolls them into one,” Soto says. “It accurately represents our sound, so it felt fitting to have it serve as a statement that says, ‘This is the sound of the band.'” Across twelve tracks, the record balances introspective lyrics with some of the most memorable hooks of their career.
