They all have something related to the animal kingdom that we could write about, but they also connect to the human world. Each track has layers, and some of them are more obvious than others. <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em> It reminds me of The Mountain, <\/em>&nbsp;adds guitarist and fellow founder Richard Henshall.&nbsp;<em> There, we had the idea of not really a narrative-based album, but more the concept of climbing a mountain and overcoming the obstacles along the way. Then we took that and thought about how it could relate to our everyday lives. All of Fauna\u2019s animals relate to us, personally. <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Fauna also marks the return of keyboard player Peter Jones, whose sounds can be heard permeating the entire album.&nbsp;<em> What Pete\u2019s brought sonically to the band has played a massive role in why we do have a lot of new sounds on this record, <\/em>&nbsp;says Ross.&nbsp;<em> It\u2019s always a new dynamic when there\u2019s a change in personnel, and this is a fresh and reviving one. It\u2019s certainly helped proximity-wise, with Pete being in the country: Pete and Ray [Hearne, Haken\u2019s drummer] would be at Rich\u2019s place and they\u2019d just start jamming. That\u2019s really key to how the songs start. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band have announced tour dates for North America and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find the full list of tour dates here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hakenmusic.com\/tour\/\" class=\"\">https:\/\/hakenmusic.com\/tour\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HAKEN are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ross Jennings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard Henshall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charlie Griffiths<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pete Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conner Green<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ray Hearne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progressive rockers&nbsp;HAKEN&nbsp;are set to release their seventh studio album Fauna on the 3rd&nbsp;March 2023, the group\u2019s most genre-busting and conceptually fascinating album to date.&nbsp; Today, the band celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day with the launch of their latest single Lovebite.&nbsp; Watch the video now here: Pre-order the album or stream the track here:&nbsp; &nbsp;Ross Jennings says this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,4028],"tags":[731,3142,4986,726,5029,4875,15,4007,3143,728],"class_list":["post-11343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-track-video-release","tag-charlie-griffiths","tag-conner-green","tag-fauna","tag-haken","tag-lovebite","tag-pete-jones","tag-progradar","tag-ray-hearne","tag-richard-henshall","tag-ross-jennings"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phnn7q-2WX","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/progradar.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Haken-promo-3.jpg?fit=1347%2C898&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11343"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17846,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11343\/revisions\/17846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/progradar.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
