Crosses‘ (†††) long-awaited sophomore album will be arriving on October 13th. The duo have titled that opus “Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete.“. While the outfit’s Chino Moreno (Deftones, etc.) and Shaun Lopez (Far, etc.) had originally intended to release a series of EPs and once again compile them into a full-length album, those plans look to have have since been scrapped.
This follow-up to their 2014 self-titled album will instead be a collection of all-new material, complete with a pair of special guest appearances: The Cure vocalist Robert Smith and El-P of Run The Jewels, etc..
Moreno commented:
“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.”
First up is the song “Invisible Hand” and its official music video, which was co-directed by Lopez and Lorenzo Carrera. You can give that a watch below.
