Deftones Go Public With New Album ‘Private Music’: Stream It Now

Deftones‘ Private Music is private music no longer, with the rock band dropping its 10th studio album on Friday (Aug. 21) for all the world to hear after more than a month of buildup.

Led by singles “My Mind Is a Mountain” and “Milk of the Madonna,” Private Music features 11 tracks total. The rest of the tracklist features “Locked Club,” “Ecdysis,” “Infinite Source,” “Souvenir” “Cxz,” “I Think About You All the Time,” “Cut Hands,” “~Metal Dream” and “Departing the Body.”

Recorded and produced in part in Malibu and Joshua Tree in California, the project marks the bandmates’ first full-length since 2020’s Ohms. Peaking at No. 5, the latter became Deftones’ sixth top 10 hit on the Billboard 200.

The release of Private Music comes about six weeks after the rockers first announced the album, sharing its simplistic cover art — an albino snake curled up on a bright green surface — on social media and writing simply, “private music | out august 22.” That same day, Deftones dropped “My Mind Is a Mountain,” with “Milk of Madonna” arriving about one month later.

The band has since been getting fans ready for the long-awaited new record by hosting a string of private listening parties leading up to Private Music‘s release. The sessions took place Aug. 19-21 in Amsterdam, Mexico City, Los Angeles, London, Melbourne, New York City, Sydney, Toronto, Vancouver,
Berlin, Paris and, of course, Deftones’ home city of Sacramento.

Before that, the band kicked off a North American headline tour that has already included shows at NYC’s famed Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum in L.A. Next up, Deftones will play a string of dates in Canada — starting with a performance in Vancouver on Friday — followed by more shows in the U.S.
