Seahaven – have released the new single and music video for “Midnight Hour.”

Six years after the release of ‘Halo of Hurt’, Seahaven returns with their upcoming fourth studio self-titled album out 5th June 2026 via Pure Noise Records. Now, the band has released the new single and music video for “Midnight Hour.”

“Midnight Hour” captures the tension between melancholy reflection and cathartic release that runs throughout the record.

Self-produced, engineered by Alex Estrada at Pale Moon Ranch in Juniper Hills, CA, and mixed and mastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Will Yip, Seahaven finds the Torrance, CA band delivering what may be their most defining statement to date.

Written primarily by vocalist and guitarist Kyle Soto, the album began to take shape in April 2025 when Soto wrote “Wedding Bells,” the first song for the record. From there, inspiration arrived quickly. Working out of his home studio, Soto often completed full song outlines in a single night, following what he describes as a creative “flow state” that allowed the songs to come naturally and without overthinking.

“Clearly, there’s been a lot going on in my life over the past couple of years that I’m sorting through,” Soto explains. “I wasn’t consciously trying to put it all into songs, but I’d sit down with a guitar to see what would happen, and I’d end up writing.”

Once those initial ideas were formed, Soto brought them to the rest of the band – guitarist Cody Christian, bassist Mike DeBartolo, and drummer Eric Findlay – who recorded the album together at Pale Moon Ranch. The result is a record that builds upon the sound Seahaven have developed since forming in 2009 while pushing it into new emotional and sonic territory.

“This album takes elements from all of our previous releases and rolls them into one,” says Soto. “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 the album, Seahaven balances deeply introspective lyrics with some of the most memorable hooks of their career. Songs like “Hellbound,” “February Flowers,” and “Infinite Blue” pair emotional weight with soaring melodies, while quieter moments such as “Remember Me” and the closing track “Companion” explore themes of memory, loss, and the fragile nature of life.
