Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Sacramento band Deftones return with my mind is a mountain, the powerful lead single from their freshly-announced forthcoming album, private music, out August 22.

Across the track, there is a masterful blend of the dense, emotive textures that define their legacy. Deep, sludge-infused guitar riffs from Stephen Carpenter are paired with cinematic layers and ambient touches from. Frank Delgado, resulting in a sprawling sonic portrait of weight and space. Chino Moreno’s vocals are mesmerising, melodic, and emotionally haunted, luring the listener into the depth of the song’s psychological landscape.

my mind is a mountain doesn’t just usher in Deftones’ return; it stakes a claim in their evolving narrative. It’s a slow crescendo of texture and tone, a summit that invites introspection rather than summit conquest. It may well become one of their most compelling lead singles - capturing both their history and ongoing artistic ambition.

The track confidently sets the stage for private music. Expect an album rooted in atmospheric heft, emotional nuance, and the interplay of beauty and weight. We’re prepared to see Deftones at their most tectonic and reflective, and fans of their journey from Ohms to the present will find this a compelling next chapter.
