About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: In the Fall of 2022, Phil Cook found himself living alone in a small homeat the edge of field and forest in North Carolina's Piedmont. For most ofCook's life he lived near the hearts of the towns he had called home,near the groan of traffic and hubbub of coffee shops. Such closequarters helped make the gregarious Cook a prolific collaborator, fromco-founding Megafaun to working with The Blind Boys of Alabama, BonIver, Hiss Golden Messenger, and endless others. But Cook's closestneighbor now was a trailhead, so he went and listened, enraptured firstby the stillness and then by the manifold birds. He began leaving hiswindowsill slightly cracked each night, so that the dawn chorus greetedhim. Cook began recording these tangled bird songs, and he slowlyjoined them. With the sun finally high, Cook would listen to the day'srecordings and improvise in real time on the instrument that remains thefirst and most steadfast love of his musical life, the piano.When Cook left that cabin after a year, he moved into a home of his ownin Durham, with plenty of space for his two boys to play and forsomething he'd never actually owned-a proper piano. Over the nextseveral months, Cook spent untold hours drilling down on these pieces.During lessons with the Southern gospel great Chuckey Robinson, thepianist had challenged Cook to sustain fewer notes, to stop cloudingand crowding his melodies by using the instrument's pedals ascrutches. His music suddenly had more clarity, with the sounds and thefeelings they ferried given more room to function. Cook dug into thedanger and delight, into the idea that we twist our bodies into knotstrying to understand what is best for our hearts.In April 2024 Cook returned to Wisconsin's Chippewa Valley where hewas raised. His lifelong friend and bandmate, Justin Vernon, had justfinished an overhaul of April Base, the studio compound where Cookhas worked on

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
