††† - "INVISIBLE HAND"
youtube
Claire recommends a Deftones/Far superduo with an ungoogleable name. (Literally! "Your search - "†††" - did not match any documents.")
[6.09]
Ian Mathers: Wait, is ††† just Chino from Deftones doing noisy synthpop? Did I forget about this? Was I not informed? [8]
Claire Biddles: This time last year, ††† released a cover of George Michael's "One More Try", a swoony bit of December melancholia that also served as a direct acknowledgement of inspiration. Much like Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, Chino Moreno has always carried Michael's influence in his vocal performance, and no more so than in his work with †††, his Depeche Mode-ish duo with producer Shaun Lopez. In "Invisible Hand", Moreno's croons are propelled by internal drama, lifting and surging in the middle of words. His lyrics are either enigmatic or nonsense, depending on one's position, but the song itself is dense with narrative. Lopez switches modes and textures with every verse, laying a sheet of synths only to shoot through it with ten-foot-tall industrial drops; stabs of synthesised voices are weaponised; glass shatters as if in a locked room. Listening to the song, looking at the blue-lit model on the album art, I'm struck by the commonalities between the sheen of '90s/'00s alt-rock and Michael's contemporaneous "adult" period: the thread that links "Spinning the Wheel" and "Digital Bath", ending up with "Freeek!" and "Invisible Hand" -- the kind of industrial that isn't made from scrap, but from chrome coated in silk. [9]
Michelle Myers: What kind of Deftones girl are you? I'm from the Saturday Night Wrist era, but I probably would have told you my favorite album was Around the Fur if you were a metal dude I bummed a lighter from at a party in 2007. Anyway, I like this as an album cut, though I'm not sure it stands on its own as a single. Still, nobody does hot, sleazy angst better than Chino Moreno. [6]
Micha Cavaseno: I've said plenty about Chino over the course of my life, so let me go over to Shaun Lopez (or "Slopez" for those of us with far too much familiarity) first. At one point, this guy was a great post-hardcore guitarist, responsible for a number of great records with his band Far. "Love, American Style" and "Bury White" still get regular play from me, and even though that comeback album was bad and his post-Far band The Revolution Smile was some of the worst middle-of-the-road radio rock possible... the guy's had great moments! Chino -- again, I've said so much about my love for the guy! Crosses... ? Always getting worse! Part of it is that Shaun is such an unimaginative producer. So many of these riffs and little digital stabs of "hard clubby synthpop" just come off like the worst sort of adult-oriented electronica. Deftones have been mostly uninspiring to me in the last decade and a half, but if I wanted Chino doing his best faux David Gahan over Phantogram-level cliches, I know he's done better. (Team Sleep was right there! And all their gimmicky electronica was perfectly in vogue with the '00s!). So here I am, begging these men to get off TikTok, stop scrolling through legions of goth girls calling themselves "baby bats" dancing to warmed-over faux-'80s music mislabeled as "darkwave," and get their heads back in the game. [2]
Katherine St Asaph: Chino from Deftones going Dave Gahan mode (NOTE UPON REREADING: pun actually not intended, god) over a song composed entirely of bridges and final choruses. So when the actual bridge and final chorus arrive, they're identical, no more tension to be had. The half-time bit at the end could have gone somewhere. [7]
Nortey Dowuona: I was kinda excited to hear Chino's powerful yet silky voice rise over the swollen stolen valor of the 808 kick by Shaun Lopez, who also provides the newly drowned synth keys and seething guitar. But then they decided to add a Phil Collins drum track throwaway for the chorus. Big sigh. At least it's only a test. [5]
Alex Clifton: When the synths hit in the chorus this is pretty cool, but the rest of the time it feels like a knockoff Imagine Dragons song. [5]
Brad Shoup: The AWOLNATION EP was a dud, so this will have to tide me over for yowling modern rock with self-conscious electronic production choices. (Well, this and the Pumpkins' space opera.) Chino's voice remains a marvel. His sighs still don't feel like shtick, which is why I'm amazed at how much I enjoy them on the chorus paired with bog-standard synthwave. [6]
Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: An expertly executed take on some shit I really, really don't want to listen to -- every big noise and faux-gothic tone here has clearly been assembled by true appreciators of a dogshit form. The hook soars and the bass breaks the speakers and oh my god this is so tedious. But honestly, I respect it -- relative to the active rock and alternative radio baseline that these guys are pushing up against, this is a masterpiece. [4]
Frank Falisi: That sound is stuck in me. You know the one. [10]
Tim de Reuse: An unnerving, staccato vocal sample and an pleasantly grimy bass stab segue abruptly veer into a competent synthpop cruise. It'd go down smoother if the lyrics reached beyond the vaguest tendencies of early-aughts nu-metal. By their tone I understand that we're not happy, but I haven't a clue what we're supposed to be upset about. [5]

Reddie + 80′s songs
Headcanons about what it says in the title. They are old post-IT men and are very in love. Let me know if you want a second part (and what songs should I use!)
Down Under - Men at Work
It blasts on the radio as they drive to the beach. It’s a wet California summer day, so the car’s top is down. Eddie is behind the wheel, Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses on, and Richie is on the passenger sit, feet on the dashboard, only one flip-flop hanging from his toes. Despite how many times Eddie has told him to drop it, Richie still holds an orange ice pop with his right hand, carefully keeping it outside the vehicle, letting it melt all over his fingers and occasionally giving it a few licks when his partner isn’t watching.
Eddie asks if they brought everything they needed again, even though he spent almost the whole morning making sure they did. Richie looks over his own shoulder to the back of the car, full of towels, umbrellas and an infinity of things they definitely won’t need. Still, he won’t make fun of Eddie for it. Not more than necessary. He just nods and keeps singing —screaming the lyrics—, encouraging him to do the same. Although Eddie constantly refuses to do so, he can’t help but join Richie for a few “you better run, you better take cover” as the car rushes through the palm-lined highway.
Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
Richie’s been playing it on Youtube the whole afternoon. Eddie and he are sitting on the porch, it’s a nice summer day and he won’t rest until he can play the harmonica perfectly. He curses when he does it wrong for the 34th time and rewinds the video. Eddie is right beside him, rubbing sunscreen on his back, because last time Richie was exposed to sun without it, he couldn’t lay down for three days. When he finishes, he continues to read his car magazine, and hears him yelling “fuck!” He throws his head back and laughs. Richie looks at him.
“Do you think it’s funny?”
Eddie shakes his head. A few seconds later, they both are laughing together, till chuckles become tears and they start to feel light-headed. They drink lemonade and, at the hour the sun goes down, Richie makes it. He’s so proud of himself, and Eddie is, too.
Relax - Frankie goes to Hollywood
It plays at a fair, in the tagada. At the moment they sit down and the doors are closed, Richie realizes he forgot to take his glass off and goes crazy. He can’t break another pair. What will his oculist think? He’s forty years old! The ride starts to spin and bounce, the speed increasing. Richie looks at Eddie like he needs answers. Eddie just chuckles and shakes his head, and soon offers to put Richie’s glasses on his fanny pack. Richie sighs in relief and mutters a bitter comment of how that’s why he wants to get contacts.
Uptown Girl - Billy Joel
It plays on the radio in a spring morning. Eddie is working on their car and Richie won’t stop joking about how that would make him the uptown girl who falls for the mechanic. Eddie rolls his eyes and tells him that, if he won’t help, he better go inside. But Richie stays there, sitting on a lawn chair, drinking beer and enjoying the show. Eddie stops for a moment, wipes the sweat from his forehead and suddenly feels Richie’s arms around his middle. Richie holds him and rests his chin on his shoulder as Eddie finishes the job.
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Richie insists they listen to it during spring cleaning. Even though Eddie is opposed to the idea at first, they soon find themselves singing and dancing as they sweep the living room, air the cushions and, somehow, make everything even dirtier than it was before.
Walk this way - Run DMC & Aerosmith
They sing it as they drive at night on their first road trip, attempting to keep themselves awake while they look for a motel. Even though at first they are super tired and emotionless, it doesn’t take long for them to start yelling the lyrics and headbang to it.
Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benatar
They destroy it as they enter their home at 3 am, completely drunk after a cocktail party. It ends with a broken coffee table when they get carried away with the choreography (they swear they’re doing it right) and stand on it. The living room surely looks like a battlefield once they’re done.
Wake me up before you go-go - Wham! + Footloose - Kenny Loggins + Faith - George Michael
Jiving at the kitchen in rainy days, as the food gets cook. Richie is usually the one to start it, seducing Eddie with his lip-sync abilities and his most ridiculous moves. But, unlike other situations, Eddie totally rolls with it with no second thought. They spin and accidentally step on each other’s feet and laugh. It generally drives to a burned dinner.
Every breath you take - The Police + Just like heaven - The Cure + Lady Lady Lady - Giorgio Moroder & Joe Esposito
Despite the fact they always complain the last one is too cheesy and straight for them, they all play softly at the background at night. Eddie is laying down on bed and Richie’s head rests on his stomach, fingers running through messy hair, gently unraveling. They stare into the ceiling and talk, voices so soft they barely can hear each other, remembering how they fell in love, what they thought about the other when they were kids, how they realized what was happening. They don’t talk about the lives they had after going separated ways. They don’t need to. They’re together now, undoubtedly aware of how meant to be is that.
Africa - Toto
Their first dance as husbands. Nothing more to say.
