††† (Crosses) — the band featuring singer Chino Moreno (Deftones) and producer/multi-instrumentalist Shaun Lopez — have announced their first full-length album in nine years. The LP, titled Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete., arrives October 13th, and features this just-released single “Invisible Hand.”
The album features two prominent guests: rapper El-P on the song “Big Youth” and The Cure’s Robert Smith on the tune “Girls Float † Boys Cry.”
“When we started working on Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete., there was so much more light coming in my life, for numerous reasons,” said Moreno in a press release. “There’s a lot more optimism. Even the darker themes are more romanticized and not coming from a place of despair.”
While Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete. marks the proper full-length follow-up to Crosses’ self-titled 2014 debut album, the band has been active the past couple years, releasing a number of singles, as well as the 2022 EP PERMANENT.RADIANT.
Along with a new album. Crosses will play their first shows in nine years. The dates include a two night stand at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on November 13th and 14th; a November 18th appearance at the Darker Waves Festival in Huntington Beach, California; a November 28th show at Elsewhere in Brooklyn, New York, and a December 4th gig at The Chapel in San Francisco.
The headlining shows will go on sale August 8th at 10 a.m. local time. Check then for tickets at Ticketmaster, StubHub, or the band’s website.
