Far (feat. Chino Moreno) : Feed the World (Do They Know It's Christmas Time?) [ purchase ] Though significantly less grandiose than the execution and process of the original, charity is still charity, no matter how brief a studio session may accompany it. The early aughts saw an explosion of trans-genre and cover albums in the worlds of punk, metal, alternative, emo, and pop, and one recurring instance of that was the holiday album. In 2003, Immortal records released A Santa Cause: It's a Punk Rock Christmas , on which [...]
"What gives this mess some grace unless it's kicks, man? Unless it's fiction? Unless it's sweat or it's songs?" - Lyrics from the song 'Unless It Kicks' by Okkervil River I'm a total sucker for lyrics. Of course I love the music too - a stunning guitar solo, the kick of a bass drum, some otherworldly vocals - but there is something about the words themselves that really hits me. I guess it comes down to the fact that I can pick up my guitar and [...]
Funny to think Regina Spektor 's Far came out almost 3 years ago already. Not aging a bit and possibly my favorite album of hers, it plays like the first time I put it on, every time I hear it. "Eet" starts off mostly somber but breaks into a winter-y piano jingle before the second verse that I absolutely adore. Regina 's voice is saturated with emotion. She really knows how to get into the characters she creates in each of her songs and she surely does it here, making her unbelievable musicianship, absolutely convincing. [...]
Tweet Chino Moreno and Far's guitarist Shaun Lopez have teamed up to proliferate the internet-fueled subgenre of creepy electronic music that is witch house. Moreno is best known as frontman for the alterna-metal band Deftones, but he's guested on a handful of other heavy bands' releases also. His new project, †††, or "Crosses" in plain words, finds him embracing electronic music through the eyes of a metal-head. The format reminds me of last summer's release by How To Destroy Angels , the electronic side [...]

Chino Moreno is known primarily for as the frontman of Deftones. But aside from that outfit's devastating metal-tinged sound, Moreno has more gentle musical ambitions. Those aspirations first surfaced in his side project Team Sleep, featuring Wavves/Hella drummer Zach Hill, which resulted in 20052s self-titled album. Now, Moreno and Far guitarist Shaun Lopez have unveiled a free EP for the similarly-sounding project ††† (Crosses) . The five-song EP is steeped in electronic music and sees Moreno and Lopez building some very ethereal soundscapes. As Moreno himself put it in an interview with Noisecreep.com earlier this [...]
Afgelopen zondag was Clay Ruby jarig. Een goede reden om weer eens stil te staan bij de uitgebreide discografie van de Amerikaan die bekend staat als Burial Hex . Zeker nu er weer een nieuwe release op stapel staat: The Far . Het is een samenwerking met een andere hooggeplaatste artiest in het occulte uit Wisconsin, Zola Jesus . Die jongedame oogstte vorig jaar veel waardering met haar donkere gothic muziek, en aangezien Burial Hex faam heeft gemaakt met "horror electronics to prepare for the final mystery in the twilight of the Kali Yuga" lijkt deze combinatie [...]
The fourth edition of "Are Friends Eclectic?" is a very special one indeed. I've managed to convince a certain guy to take time out from his hectic day and give us an insight into his musical tastes and whatever else takes his fancy. Yes, that's the real Santa right there. Yes he smokes. Yes, that's a half coconut/pineapple concoction and cocktail in his right hand. Yes, he sticks a white beard over his "manly goatee" and no, the big red suit's not at the dry cleaners. He's [...]

Tired of the same old boring Christmas songs year after year? The same songs in the same style every December? Fear no more..... This is a Christmas mix with a little bit of a twist. Nothing too "out there" or but different enough to keep you from going insane with the sounds of X-Factor garbage or other annually released festive "songs" ringing in your ears. The mix starts off with an epic track from Mew and goes into some Christmassy pop and funk then we head into [...]
MORE GOOD STUFF FROM CHINO MORENO: ††† (CROSSES)
Perhaps inspired by last week's stream of Deftones frontman Chino Moreno's collaboration with Circa Survive's Anthony Green, last week I finally got around to listening to the debut EP by another of Moreno's projects, ††† ("Crosses"), his electronic collaboration with Far's Shaun Lopez. I found the EP not just listenable but really, really good - after [...]

Martin Parks| ‘Far’ [Video]
Martin Parks :: Far :: APPLE JUICE BREAK PRONOUNCED LOVE. from AppleJuice Break on Vimeo . Hailing from suburban Chicago, Martin Parks is made up of Roman Lee and Jacque Hammond. They take their name from Civil Rights guiding lights Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, and their music tries to live up to these lofty standard-bearers. If you name your group after two heroes such as that, you obviously have some seriously lofty goals. These guys have a blissfully old school sound. Martin Parks [...]

†††, the frustratingly-named Deftones/Far side project, release free EP
†††, or "Crosses" as they're bound to end up being known, is the brainchild of Chino Moreno from Deftones and Shaun Lopez from Far. They've gone and released a free EP, which you can get your hands on just by bunging them your email address. Don't be expecting it to sound anything like Deftones or [...]
Deftones side project, Crosses, starts website, releases footage
Not sure how many of you remember but a while back I wrote about a band called Crosses which is a side-project of Deftones frontman Chino Moreno and Far guitarist Shaun Lopez. Well up top is one of a few teasers that have been released by the band at their new website which, besides the videos, is quite bare. Moreno said in a previous interview that the band had finished 16 tracks already and that they might "release a series of EPs" onto the internet. He added that he didn't want [...]
