Deftones is slated to play their second set at Coachella tonight, April 19 between 6:45pm to 7:35pm PST. Do you have to not have gotten tickets (as most of us did not, I assume), you’ll be able to no less than stream the band’s full set by way of the embedded YouTube video under. And who is aware of what they’re going to play? Deftones debuted their old cover of The Smiths‘ “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” during the first set, so keep tuned!
As for the way forward for Deftones in 2024, the band is at the moment engaged on a brand new document. Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno is engaged on vocals, and he is gonna take so long as it takes to get ’em proper. In an interview backstage at Coachella after the primary set, Moreno spoke somewhat in regards to the document, saying he is been out and in of the studio for a short while now honing his efficiency on the upcoming document.
“We have not actually talked a lot [publicly] about it,” mentioned Moreno. “We have simply type of been engaged on and off over the past 12 months and a half from after we began writing to… Principally, the place we’re sitting proper now could be now we have an entire document recorded all musically. And it is just about my job proper now to complete up the vocals.
“And I’ve, clearly, this present once more subsequent week, after which straight after that, I’m going again house to Oregon and I’m going within the studio. So so long as that takes… I hate to place a particular form of timeframe, ‘trigger we’re probably not in a rush. We would like it to be nice. I feel that is most necessary. However it’s coming, and, yeah, it is actually good. We’re actually excited with what we have been engaged on. And all people’s jazzed.”
On how new Deftones sounds 4 years out from Ohms, Moreno added: “I really feel like, general, it is an invigorated form of sound. We went in and all people… It is, like, in any case these years, you go in, and it is, like, we hadn’t written a document since — what was it? Pre-COVID, I feel, after we had been final within the studio. So it’d been some time since we would really… I imply, we have been taking part in exhibits, however we hadn’t actually received into being artistic.
“The artistic half, to me, is all the time form of the funnest a part of being on this band. Performing is nice, however arising with one thing out of nothing, that feeling can’t be topped. And so while you get within the room with your folks, we’re laughing, we’re having enjoyable after which somebody does one thing after which I react to it or they react to what I am doing, it goes in a circle after which, unexpectedly, we raise our heads up and there is one thing that exists that did not exist earlier than we walked in that room. That is simply nice.”
In any other case, all we all know is that Deftones was working with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Mastodon, Alice In Chains, and so on.) on the brand new stuff. The brand new Deftones album will probably be their first with out bassist Sergio Vega, who performed on the band’s earlier 4 albums and quit in 2021. Fred Sablan has been filling in with Deftones reside, however the band has by no means introduced an official alternative for Vega.
