Trent Reznor has started a new project How To Destroy Angels with his wife Mariqueen Maandig.
Is the name a nod at Coil?
A friend sent me a link that was still circling the rumour pen... but seems Filter have the goss: http://filtermagazine.com/index.php/news/entry/trent_reznor_forms_how_to_destroy_angels_with_wife_mariqueen_maandig/
Since finishing the Wave Goodbye tour with Nine Inch Nails, frontman Trent Reznor has been all but lazy. Alongside wife Mariqueen Maandig, Reznor is set to release a self-titled six-song EP under the name How To Destroy Angels.
Although no tunes have been posted, a 40-second video has appeared and the group has created a website as well as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Youtube, and Vimeo pages. The music from the clip consists of low electronic beats and slightly overdriven tones that raise and lower in pitch. That's all the info that the mastermind Reznor has to offer - for now.
How To Destroy Angels' EP will drop this summer.
A website is already up with a 40 second sample/teaser and it sounds very NIN-ish (obviously).
Looking forward to hearing more! I was hoping on new NIN material this year, but who's to say that won't come along as well?
Whatever that ribbon synth thing is in that trailer vid I WANT IT
me too :)
;)
I'd also like to add... it can't be worse than WITH TEETH!
That doesn't mean what the writer thinks it means
Do tell, bungle...
Should be anything but? Or maybe trent's been chillin
That's the usual phrase though isn't it? The way the lingo goes... I've heard it a million times. ''All BUT lazy...''. I guess I know what the writer means, even if he's gotten it slightly wrong.
Can't be anything but.
Fucking OUTSTANDING album, that one. Not sure if I felt any accumulation of male energy, but hey.
Those sessions they recorded with him have finally been released, too, as The New Backwards, I think.
The vinyl came out, and although there was meant to be a CD edition, I never saw it. WANT.
I hope it's all instrumental. I could listen to that ribbon synth thing all day.
You can buy it at Threshold House. Here.
It was posted in an announcement about the vinyl/CD Ape of Naples which may have been the confusion?
Back to Trent, MORE SYNTH.
an entire album of ribbon synth.... mmmm tasty
I wonder if the wife sings on it?
i wonder if he knows, how do you talk to an angel?
i have heard (but unconfirmed) that its like trying to catch a falling star
His wife sings in this band. So I suppose it's not QUITE as unexpected. Hasn't stopped NIN fans on youtube calling her Yoko.
Wiki confirms that the band is named after the Coil EP, which would give it a good chance at being more instrumental than vocal, I guess.
Also says there'll be a six-song EP in (the US?) summer this year.
ribbon synth thing
That dewanatron stuff is fucking off tap.
EP in (US) summer, yes. Looking forward to it. Hopefully her singing isn't too... suffocating of the music.
I read the Yoko shouts... hilarious :)
that looks fucking SICK!!!
new video up on the website!
now a third video is up. Nothing as exciting as that first Swarmatron though
They sell them, also, through Big City Music. I wrote to the dudes who make 'em and they wrote back the next day - very friendly, very chuffed that someone liked the boxes they make.
sounds brilliant. Is Big City Music in Sydney?
''mastermind''
Naw, LA, I think. their site is here.
SO MUCH STUFF. MUST SELL ORGANS.
found the website before... looks awesome! Will have to pay a visit when I pass though LA in October :)
Buy a Dewantron: $3200.
uh huh...
Full song on Pitchfork.
sounds good.
Yes. Yes it does.
hm, i just heard this. it was very good.
I those videos are quite inspiring
song ain't bad... love the ending. You can see where that video of the slide noise guitar fits in. Looking forward to hearing more!
Free EP out now, for an email address!
No doubt about the Coil influence here!
The video for The Space In Between is great.
