A dark electronic side project formed in 2011 by Deftones singer Chino Moreno, Far guitarist Shaun Lopez, and bassist Chuck Doom, Crosses focused on the more soothing side of alternative, blending dream pop, synth pop, trip-hop, and ambient influences while emphasizing mood and melody over raw aggression. The original trio tested the waters with a pair of EPs, which eventually joined a batch of previously unreleased tracks to form their 2014 debut full-length Crosses. Quiet for the remainder of the decade, they returned in 2022 with a new label and EP, Permanent.Radiant.
