Around The Fur

Product Information

It was written by Cavalera and Deftones singer Chino Moreno as a way of venting some of their pain over the loss of Dana Wells, Cavalera's stepson and Chino's friend. When Consequence of Sound ranked the eight albums Deftones had released as of May 2020, Around the Fur was placed at number four. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene.

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. Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.The frequent sleeping led him to cover his windows and frequently envision a post-apocalyptic world where people would disappear off the streets.

The album opener, " My Own Summer (Shove It)", was written in 1994 by Moreno during an excessively hot stretch of the summer in Seattle.These were their first shows since December 1996, with the band debuting several Around the Fur songs that were still in the demo stages. Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. The album cover was shot by photographer Rick Kosick during a late-night party in Seattle where the band was recording. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile.

Abe Cunningham varied his drum sound and experimented by using different types of snare drums on almost every track. In September 1998, Deftones toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were playing their first shows in over six years with guitarist John Frusciante. 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. In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Deftones tap into the same alternative metal vibe as Korn and L7, and while they don't have catchy riffs or a fully developed sound, Around the Fur suggests they're about to come into their own".

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 album was certified gold by the RIAA in June 1999, and was eventually certified platinum in 2011. Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung. The opening \”My Own Summer (Shove It)\”, serves as an introduction to the album\’s sonic theme: sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch.

Wisdom of Pitchfork described the songs from the album as "intense, harsh tunes", [36] while Punknews.
