A chance to work with the guys from Isis sounded like a lot of fun. I've always been into the atmospheric sounds they had created with that project and felt my sense of melody would meld well with theirs.

From Chino Moreno

I've always tried to stay clear of being labeled, putting a label on what type of music that I make.

From Chino Moreno

I grew up listening to so much different pop and stuff other than just aggressive music.

From Chino Moreno

I have this natural want to... when things sound very easy and straightforward, something inside me always makes me want to take a left turn. If it comes to me and it's too simple, there has to be a more complicated route. I will complicate things like that at times.

From Chino Moreno

I love some electronic music. I'm not a big fan of dubstep, but there is so much good electronic music out there.

From Chino Moreno

A band like Depeche Mode would go out and record them hitting a trash can with a steel rod or something and recording it. And that would be one of their sounds of the drums. I love the creativeness of that kind of really raw sampling.

From Chino Moreno

I grew up in the eighties; that's probably why I like some of the earlier electronic from Kraftwerk to all throughout new wave and things like that.

From Chino Moreno

From Chino Moreno

When you hear the first five seconds to a song and you've pretty much heard the whole song, that's kind of a bummer.

From Chino Moreno

I have a feeling a lot of the records I grew up listening to and the records I still like, as hard as musicians worked making them, I feel like they were really enjoying what they were going through. They weren't just going through the process. You can tell that with certain things that you listen to.
