I didn’t even know that Nine Inch Nails were defunct, and here’s the first song from Trent Reznor’s next project. It sounds like one of the quieter NIN songs, only with a honeyed female vocal (from Mrs Reznor) instead of Trent’s anguished voice. The result sounds like a bit of a throwback to the ’90s, when everyone was trying to sound like Portishead. How To Destroy Angels will need to come up with something a bit more compelling if they’re to measure up to NIN. But maybe they don’t want to…
Their first EP will be out sometime soon, so I can’t wait to hear some more dimensions of their sound. Assuming there are some.
