Notes

Deftones have a new single, my mind is a mountain that they released earlier this month, and both Jenna and I are absolutely in love with how crushing the riff is, and I love how Stephen Carpenter’s guitar riff has nothing to do with the melody but everything to do with creating a tonal foundation that everything else can be built upon.

It’s so good that I had to include two more of my favourite Deftones guitar riffs, You’ve Seen The Butcher and Rosemary to celebrate this triumvirate of carnal riffage.

Beyond that, Superheaven makes a reappearance, as do new recommendations like Suzy Clue, Whirr, and Die Spitz, all who bring their own brand of sonic density.

I also got to check out monopolice’s new album, El Elefente, and the song Overthrow is a gorgeous, regal and ephemeral outpouring of catharsis.

Finally, KEXP finally featured a live studio performance of Grails, one of my all-time favourite post-rock bands. Sisters of Bilitis is from their 2023 album, Anches En Maat and features a wonderfully soaring musical arrangement, almost to a moment of euphoria.
