Deftones Launch “Adopt A Dot” Fundraiser Based on “Ohms” Album Art by Frank Maddocks


Deftones have unveiled an amazing charity drive raising monies for UC Davis Children’s Hospital and to Crew Nation based on the artwork for their stellar new album Ohms (review here). For just $20 USD you adopt a dot, on of 12,995 on the album cover (or many if you can spare it), and can support these two charities. Read the statement from the band and Frank Maddocks below and sign up at the link!

12,995 dots comprise the Ohms album cover, and we’re inviting you to become a part of it. By adopting a dot on the cover, you’ll be contributing to the UC Davis Children’s Hospital and to Crew Nation to fund lifesaving research and pediatric services, as well as support the music industry’s vital crew members, whose livelihood have been impacted by COVID-19. Please join us in supporting these two great organizations and adopt a dot (or many) on our album cover at Deftones.com/adopt.

“Ohms album art is an iconic rendering of a suspended, chance moment in time. Over 10,000 individual circles become unified to create the distinct visual. As with Deftones music and lyrics, the definitive meaning of the imagery invites and relies on interpretation from the viewer. From a dreamy gaze above, to sadness, hope, despair, optimism and a longing for connection, the emotions conveyed are endless and infinitely evolving.” – Frank Maddocks (Creative Director, Deftones)
