Chino Moreno’s Crosses Release New Video

Posted by Chris Harris on July 27, 2011 in News, Video

You may not know this, but Deftones frontman Chino Moreno has a side project called Crosses with Far guitarist Shaun Lopez, and after the jump, you can hear part of a new track from the band’s forthcoming record. I’m assuming there, as there’s been no official announcement of what the album will be called and when it will be out.

“Shaun [has] been a good friend of mine since we were kids,” said Moreno in a recent interview. “He’s my neighbor and we’ve done stuff together before. But just recently, during these little breaks that [Deftones has] had, we’ve been recording this real minimal project where it’s just me and him and another buddy of mine, Scott Chuck, and we’re just writing these little pieces of music, whether it starts with piano or some down tempo beats.”

Moreno emphasized that “it’s really minimal and soothing and it’s sort of like the stuff I like listening to when I’m not screaming my head off. The tentative name for the project is Crosses and we have 16 tracks that are almost done. We’ll usually work four or five hours a day. I’ll go over to Shaun’s and sing a bunch of stuff and we’ll edit some stuff together. I’ll just write lyrics really quickly and it’ll be done.
