Deftones singer Chino Moreno’s side-project ††† (CROSSES) – featuring Far guitarist Shaun Lopez – will release their sophomore album, “Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete.”, on October 13. It’s the first full-length LP since their 2014 self-titled album and features guest appearances by The Cure singer Robert Smith and El-P of Run The Jewels.

In a press release, Moreno said, “When we started working on ‘Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete.’, there was so much more light coming in my life, for numerous reasons. There’s a lot more optimism. Even the darker themes are more romanticized and not coming from a place of despair.”
