DEFTONES drummer Abe Cunningham recently spoke to Rolling Stone magazine about the making of the group's new studio album with legendary producer Bob Ezrin - whose credit list includes the PINK FLOYD opus "The Wall".
"At this point, we just needed to change things up," Cunningham said of the decision to switch producers for the new CD. "And this is definitely a different style. Working with him is just putting us fucking upside down. He's cracking the whip."
Regarding Terry Date, who produced the band's first four albums, Cunningham said, "We love him with all our heart, and I would do another record with Terry in a hot second, but this is just what we needed now. Bob has made some amazing records - PINK FLOYD is one of my all-time favorite groups - and he's worked with such a wide variety of people."
As for what the new material sounds like, Cunningham said, "I think it could be more like 'White Pony'. "It's hard to answer that when you're up inside of it. It's kind of an amoeba right now . . . [but] there's some fairly complicated stuff. There's this one song that has, like, five different tempo changes."
