Deftones Announces LP ‘Private Music,’ Drop ‘My Mind Is a Mountain’

It’s taken five years for a new Deftones album to come — and it’s finally here. On Thursday, the group announced that it will release its album, Private Music, on Aug. 22 via Reprise and Warner Records. Deftones also released the single “My Mind Is a Mountain.”

The album artwork for Deftones’ upcoming album features a bright green background with a white snake slithering over it. The group also shared the 11-song track list for Private Music, which includes songs such as “Souvenir,” “Cut Hands,” “Metal Dream,” and “Departing the Body.”

The album serves as a sort of homecoming for group members Chino Moreno, Stephen Carpenter, Abe Cunningham, and Frank Delgado, who co-produced the project with Nick Raskulinecz in Malibu and Joshua Tree, as well as Nashville. Raskulinecz worked on 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan with the group.

The group will celebrate the album with a show in Vancouver the night of Aug. 22, before stopping in cities such as Minneapolis, Buffalo, Toronto, Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Denver, Louisville, and Sacramento for their own tour and festival stops. For their own shows, Deftones will bring Phantogram and Idles on the road.

Deftones released their last album, Ohms, in September 2020. The record features songs such as “Genesis,” “The Spell of Mathematics,” and “Ceremony.” They toured that record in 2021 following the Covid-19 pandemic.
