Chino Moreno of Deftones/Crosses, etc. fame appears to have told Rollingstone.com that he hopes the band will begin writing new material this month. In an interview that was published today, February 10th, he was quoted as saying:
“We just finished a tour, so we’re gonna take the rest of the year off. We’re gonna start writing some music early next year. I just moved to Oregon and Stephen is down in L.A. and Abe and Frank are in Sacramento, and Sergio is in Europe. The idea is to just get together. The last couple records, we just threw ourselves into a small room and started playing.
We just work organically, which I think works better than me writing a song and saying, “Hey guys, learn this.” Hopefully in February we’ll spend a couple weeks together, and just kind of get together and write music.”
Given the timeframe referenced, it would appear that the interview was conducted in late 2013, however, the exact date was not specified. The interview also found Moreno discussing Crosses (†††) coming self-titled debut (out tomorrow February 11th on Sumerian Records,) late Deftones bassist Chi Cheng and more.
