Deftones "Private Music" Album Thread

I'm not sure. You're probably right, in fact, I thought it was painfully obvious that this was going to be a single but looking back, maybe it is a bit too obvious?

You would think they'd tease a single on their social media first, where they can reach their global fanbase directly. It seems strange to rely on fans posting photos from a live show to spread the word.

Also, why wouldn't they release it on a Friday? I understand if they're independent now, but I don't see them ignoring industry norms just for the sake of it. Releasing music on a Thursday seems unlikely without a specific reason.

My guess is that it will be something different, and then the singles will follow soon after. Still, something about this whole situation feels a bit off.

They dropped Prayers/Triangles on a Thursday and other singles on days other than Friday as well.

The Foo Fighters released a single today (Wednesday). I think you and others are way overthinking all of this. Just relax and let it come.

At this point, not releasing a single on the 10th would be weird and off.

Again, it might just be a single, but the Foo Fighters released it intentionally to celebrate 30 years since their debut was released worldwide.

Also, Prayers/Triangles came out in 2016, which is around when the industry officially made Fridays the standard release day. For example, the Deftones last four singles including Phantom Bride which came out just after Prayers/Triangles were all released on Fridays.

And yeah, maybe I am reading too much into this (in fact, I know I am), but I'm also being observant. A Thursday release without a clear reason does feel a bit odd these days.

There are no real hard dates for single releases. Album releases will always happen on a Friday.

(...) Currently, UK releases come on a Monday, with US releases following a day later. From now on, new albums and singles will be released at 00:01 on Fridays. (...)

I think there's definitely a hard date for singles.

I get that people are expecting this to be a single, but the announced date doesn't actually line up. Deftones being Deftones, they could do something totally off the usual path, but with the way they've handled things in the past, if it were a single, they'd probably release it on a Friday even as a self-released track, unless they picked out July 10 for some specific reason.

And again, on TOP of that, they've teased it at a live show. I just don't see why they'd drop it on a Thursday without any online announcement so far if it were actually going to be a single.

So yeah, it's possible this isn't a single after all.
