![]() So, I have been coming down here - I’m in L.A. And so we tried to keep that vibe when we decided get back to doing this block of songs. So, a lot of times, I would just dip in there and say, “What are you working on, Shaun?” … I would just kind of sit on the couch and just chill while he was working on other music. So it’s nice to be his neighbor, actually - I used to live right around the corner from him. We’ve recorded a lot of stuff in that room from Deftones stuff to Crosses stuff. And that usually turns into creating music, and … he’s got a nice little that he’s had for some time. Shaun and I have always sort of had this kinship where we just sit around and talk about music. For me, making music is always the best when it happens organically. And that’s always exciting to create something when you’re basically just chilling. I think we had a few maybe loop-ish ideas but there were a few things that were pretty much formatted in song form. And from that point, I think that excited us both - that by hanging out together, just like messing around with our gear, we were creating songs. It was just like, “Let’s make it when we feel inspired.”Ĭhino Moreno: Yeah, that was … definitely a few years ago, like said, pre-pandemic. But that’s just kind of how we always did stuff. And I think by the time I left, we had a few ideas that were that were pretty cool that we felt pretty good about. And we just started messing with some stuff. It was just like, “Oh, we’re in the studio.” I brought a couple keyboards and guitars and some pedals and whatnot. There wasn’t really a plan to even go in and make music. I went up to Oregon, where Chino lives, and was just there for a week. Shaun Lopez: We started a little bit before the pandemic. When did you guys back into the studio to work on Crosses music after the long hiatus? Stay tuned to Heavy Consequence as Crosses release more new music in the near future. ![]() Read our interview with Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez, and see the music videos for “Initiation” and “Protection,” below. Moreno also discussed how he’s been influenced by ’80s new wave and synth-pop music, elements of which can be heard on both new Crosses singles, as well as their past releases. Moreno and Lopez recently caught up with Heavy Consequence to discuss the new songs, release plans for more new tracks, and the possibility for Crosses shows this year amidst Deftones’ busy tour schedule ( tickets available here). In March, the two aforementioned original songs “Initiation” and “Protection” were released, cementing the fact that Crosses were back in full swing.Īfter releasing their 2014 self-titled debut album and three EPs as a trio (including Chuck Doom), Crosses are recording their new music as a duo, although other musicians will be featured on future tracks, including the band’s touring members Dino Campanella and Jono Evans. The first sign that Crosses were back in the studio came in late 2020, when the outfit unveiled a cover of the Cause and Effect track “The Beginning of the End.” A year later, a cover of Q Lazzarus’ “Goodbye Horses” followed, along with news that more music was coming soon. The tracks “Initiation” and “Protection” are just a taste of what’s to come, as the duo plan to unveil more music in the coming months, after inking a deal with Warner Bros.
