Grammy-winning alt heroes Deftones have released this teaser ahead of the group’s seventh album, Koi No Yokan.
“I think one of the things we were really conscious of was making sure the songs had real dynamics,” says front man Chino Moreno. “I love Stephen [Carpenter]’s aggressive, chunky guitar riffs, but we always wanted there to be that kind of yin and yang in the songs – that push and pull between heaviness and beauty.”
Moreno insists the record’s title, a Japanese term for the notion of love at first sight, is not meant to be taken literally. “It’s really just trying to get at those tingling feelings that everybody gets from time to time. I just wanted to give people a descriptive emotion to work off of when approaching the record.”
Our review of the new record follows shortly, and Koi No Yokan is released on 12th November.
