††† (Crosses)

So I am going to confess up front that as of yet I havent worked out how (other than a copy and paste) to type the symbol that names Chino Moreno's latest extra curicular project CROSSES.

Whilst representing a slight departure from the hellish soundscapes that made up Moreno's recent Team Sleep project, this bands opening salvo comes in the form of a free download ep which showcases a dynamic range of space age electronica complete with broken down drum loops, sub sonic bass and grinding guitars pitched tastefully against a backdrop of hi tech gadgetry - giving the impression of this sounding for all the world like its beamed in from another galaxy as some kind of cultural swap with the paranoid inhabitants of BC-97662-??!#1

Wherever the fuck that is. Well worth a listen none the less.
