🗣️ Quotes from Chino Moreno of ††† (Crosses)

"Yeah. I mean, it’s lovely when you can be in that predicament, you know what, uh, you usually once you get record, uh, labels and management and all this other stuff, which is very lovely. But that’s when a lot of the pressure of meeting deadlines and things like that kind of come in."

"We didn’t have this giant plan other than Shaun and I. Uh, we’ve been friends since our late teens and, uh, we both grew up in Sacramento and we friended each other pretty young and both in bands playing music and always wanted to do something together, but never really just got it together."

"I mean, to me, it’s probably one of the saddest songs on the record. So I just feel like that vibe is just like it just sort of is the perfect marriage of his voice and the vibe of that song, for sure."

"Um, the Run The Jewels record at that time was we’d been listening to that record a lot and been fan and friends with him (El-P) for a while. Um, so kind of the same thing. I reached out to him and, uh, we actually sent him a version of the song with him already in it where Shaun found an acapella of him from Run the Jewels and threw it in there just as a placeholder to kind of see what it sound like. As soon as we threw that in there, we were like, wow, this is awesome."

🗣️ Quotes from Shaun Lopez of ††† (Crosses)

"Uh, yeah, to me, uh, always the best albums know, every time you listen to them, you hear something new that you didn’t hear the time before. And I guess maybe I probably don’t even think about that, but when we’re making it but it’s in my DNA at this point. I listen to music the same way."
