Hello, frens! 🤠

How’s everything going on your end? Over here, I just got hit with a surprise:

Deftones has a brand new album out: "private music"! It dropped on August 22nd, so it’s fresh out of the oven. 🥳

Their last record was “Ohms” in 2020. Even though it isn’t my all-time favorite Deftones release, I still enjoyed it. Honestly, a new album was long overdue, but I get it. I think Chino Moreno’s been busy with Crosses †††.

✝️ That project is, for me, the epitome of witchy vibes mixed with some gothic energy. Hard to describe for me, so you really have to give them a listen.

This new Deftones album surprised me because I hadn’t been keeping up with them for a while, and the sound is both refreshing and familiar. You can tell they’ve truly mastered their craft and they are confident and unapologetic about it.

💓 I loved it! It took me back to the style of “Saturday Night Wrist” with a touch of “Around the Fur.”

They’ve honed their sound so well that it echoes some of their previous albums but still feels new. It really feels like a whole experience on its own. Personally, I loved souvenir, departing the body and milk of the madonna.

Would love to hear what you think of the album—or if you’re just skipping it.

Enjoy your weekend, frens 🫀
