The band recently launched a making of documentary for the ‘in a fever dream’ EP. Filmed & edited by Oliver Kember, you can watch it in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usHTkn_6L-A
Co-produced and mixed by George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token), and featuring bass contributions from Bryan Beller (Joe Satriani, The Aristocrats) & Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (Periphery), the EP sees the band crafting some of the most emotionally direct material of their career so far.
“ ‘in a fever dream’ is both a brave step away from the expected and a strident consolidation of everything that the band have achieved to date. Ingenious and classy, as ever.” – Blabbermouth.net
“The EP is packed with moments of classic Haken style, and the songs should be accessible to curious new listeners too.” – The Prog Report
The band comments: “This EP was born from a period of reflection and rediscovery. Over the last few years, we’ve faced challenges that forced us to look inward, both as musicians and as people, and the songs on this record are the result of that journey.
We allowed ourselves to be completely honest in the writing process, digging into real experiences, doubts, and emotions rather than hiding behind them. That vulnerability gave these songs a weight and purpose unlike anything we’ve created before.
Musically, we pushed ourselves into new territory, embracing fresh influences while holding onto the intensity and identity that define this band. Working with producer George Lever helped us sharpen that vision, and Vada Studios provided the perfect environment to collaborate and bring it to life.
This EP captures a moment in time of us finding our feet again – moving forward, taking risks, and creating from a place that feels as genuine as we have ever been.”
‘in a fever dream’ will be available as CD, Deep Blood Red LP (in Europe), Lotus White LP (in the US) and as a very limited clear LP edition available only from the bands store. Pre-order now here: https://haken.lnk.to/inafeverdream-EP
