DEFTONES have announced the release of their 10th studio album, Private Music.
The news was initially teased after the band’s show at London’s Crystal Palace Park late last month, when a graphic on the band’s video screens that mentioned the phrase “private music” and included the Roman numerals “X.VII.MMXXV” (today).
Now comes the official confirmation. Private Music will arrive on August 22 via Reprise/Warner, and is preceded by a new single, My Mind Is A Mountain (below).
The album was recorded at various locations in California, including Malibu and Joshua Tree, as well as in Nashville, TN, with returning producer Nick Raskulinecz, who also worked on 2010’s Diamond Eyes and 2012’s Koi No Yokan.
