The release marks the band's first use of an outside producer and points to a deliberate change in their production approach.

Overview

  • Haken released the seven‑minute single "In a Fever Dream" on Thursday, May 21, their first new music since the 2023 album Fauna.
  • The band worked with outside producer George Lever for the first time and hired guest bassist Bryan Beller to play on the track, signaling a shift in how they make records.
  • Haken announced the departures of longtime guitarist Charlie Griffiths and bassist Conner Green in January, leaving the group without announced permanent replacements.
  • An official visualizer by Oli Kember accompanied the single, and the band lists Ross Jennings, Richard Henshall, Pete Jones and Ray Hearne as the core current members.
  • Haken is set to headline Euroblast festival in Germany on September 27, a planned live return that fans and observers should watch for clues about new members and the band's evolving sound.
