†††, also called Crosses to us that speak using real words, is an LA-based trio that was formed by Deftones singer Chino Moreno, Far guitarist Shaun Lopez and Chuck Doom. Today mark the release of their debut album, also called Crosses. After releasing 2 EP's instead of the band releasing a third, they decided to release an album with remastered versions of the tracks on the first EP's as well as 5 new tracks that would have made up the third EP.
Their music is definitely on the darker side. You can really hear the influence each of the three members bring along with them, especially the deftones. The first single to be released off the album is The Epilogue. This song seems more poppy than their other music, but it is still a solid chill out rock track. Check it out.
The next song of theirs I want to feature is called Telepathy. This song came off of their first EP and was one of the first Crosses tracks available on the internet. Their older music has much more electronic influence than their newer material. Check out Telepathy below
I love the way they play with the cross symbol. It is difficult to get away with using religious symbols in your art without people reacting in certain ways. I think it works so well for these guys because you go in with no idea what to expect from them, and on the flip side, what you would expect from them probably isn't even close to what they are. Since Coachella is all about new music and experiences, check them out while you're there and try something different!
Happy Coachella! <3
