DEFTONES - Private Music (Alternate Cover Edition) - CD (CD (indie exclusive))

Deftones have always defined boundless creativity in the music space. Across nine prior studio albums, they have carved out an unmistakable sonic identity \u2014 ferocious yet dreamlike, while making space for constant refinement and surprise. Now, decades on from the groove-forward sound of their era-defining debut, Adrenaline, and following a long line of masterpieces including 2000\u2019s White Pony, 2010\u2019s Diamond Eyes, and 2020\u2019s Ohms \u2014 an album that earned them their second and third Grammy nominations \u2014 they return with one of the most focused statements of their career: private music. Joining the band\u2019s creative core of Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Frank Delgado (as well as touring bassist Fred Sablan, who appears on the album) is producer Nick Raskulinecz, who previously worked on Diamond Eyes and 2012\u2019s riveting Koi No Yokan. The result is a lean, masterfully paced 11-song set that plays like a new Deftones benchmark. Me.
