A lot has been said about the Deftones over the last 30-odd years, and although the dreary algorithms of the modern age have us all in a chokehold, at least they help allow for some good bands — like Deftones — to have a resurgence amongst the youth of today. Sure, one could argue it breeds posers, casuals — whatever nihilistic term you feel inclined could apply — but finding some new music that changes your POV as a youngster is always a good thing.
Even as a peripheral Deftones fan, you hear their songs, see their record covers, and it makes you want to know more. That’s definitely the case for their 1997 release, Around the Fur. One could argue that the just-lewd-enough cover is amongst some of the most visually iconic releases of the ’90s, and knowing that skate photographer, Rick Kosick, shot it just makes it that much sweeter.
We were in Seattle when we found out that the cover girl still resided in town and was down to share her experience with us, 28 years later.
