Deftones announce new album ‘private music’, announce huge UK & European tour

Just a few weeks on from their huge London headline show at Crystal Palace Park, Deftones have returned with details of their brand new album, ‘private music’.
The Sacramento outfit will release their tenth album – the follow-up to their 2020 record ‘Ohms’ – on 22nd August via Reprise/Warner Records, with the record marking the third time that they’ve worked with producer Nick Raskulinecz, who they previously collaborated with on 2010’s ‘Diamond Eyes’ and 2012’s ‘Koi No Yokan’. The album – which is set to be eleven tracks in length – was recorded in a range of locations including Malibu and Joshua Tree, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Alongside the news of their forthcoming release, the band have also shared the album’s lead single, ‘my mind is a mountain’, and announced plans for a huge UK and European tour. Set to take place in early 2026, the band will play nine shows across mainland Europe, before returning to the UK for six arena shows that conclude at The O2 in London.

ALIMENT is a somewhat elusive entity. With releases tracing as far back as 2010, they have clearly been honing their craft for quite some time. The accomplishment of such longevity yields dividends that take the form of pulling off complex rhythms and harmonies with ease, sneaking nuance in through the side door, not to deny the effectiveness of the hooks and general catchiness at hand. That’s the beauty of Sempre Res (which translates to “always nothing”)—the pop sensibilities lure you in, but the ingenuity and angularity will keep you coming back. Stylistically, ALIMENT occupies the midpoint between PROTOMARTYR and the MARKED MEN. Not as dour as the former, nor as overtly melodic as the latter, they have a textured post-punk aesthetic that doesn’t get too gloomy or zapped of energy. Barcelona seems to consistently produce bands that twist the dial a bit to the left. ALIMENT is no exception. Provocative in exactly the right ways. ARTIFICIAL GO returns with another offering of post-punk out of Cincinnati. On this go-around, you can easily hear the evolution in the band’s sound, with lush production and more genre exploration. The warm production sounds great, specifically allowing the bass lines to evoke the sounds of the SLITS, DELTA 5, or fellow Feel It Records act SPREAD JOY. The genre exploration, on the other hand, seems to provide really mixed results. The breezy Flying Nun Records sound in tunes like “The World is My Runway” and “Late to the Party” provide really nice, dreamy grooves that seem to lock in and get the head bopping. When the no wave influence gets too hot though, things start to veer the other way. Tracks like closer “Sky Burial” just feel ephemeral, and low point “Red Convertible” tried my patience to the point of fighting not to just skip forward and end it. Argue that I simply don’t get it, that’s fine, but the highs and lows on this record are so discordant that it takes the head from bopping along to banging on a table and back in whiplash-like fashion.
