A little bit behind on this, but I wanted to share the new How to Destroy Angels single – “A Drowning” – with you. How to Destroy Angels is the new project from Trent Reznor, in collaboration with his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, and represents the first post-NIN music he has produced. In fact, the duo have produced an eponymous EP that will be out this Summer. As for “A Drowning,” the Alan Moulder-produced track reminds me of the best moments of The Downward Spiral (mixed, in fact, by Moulder), or earlier NIN work, in that it has a tightness of focus and composition that seems to reflect a genuine, hungering sense of purpose. Personally, I’m very excited for the EP, as I can feel that this track is just a ripple of thunder before the real storm begins…
Also, courtesy of TwentyFourBit, here’s a possible track listing:
01 The Space In Between (3:34)
02 Parasite (5:04)
03 Fur-Lined (4:00)
04 BBB (3:31)
05 The Believers (5:35)
06 A Drowning (7:13)
