Like, totally OMFG!!!!!!!!!1
Sorry, not quite sure what just came over me....
Sir Trent Reznor of Nine of Nails, had previously hinted at some non-NIN material this year, How to Destroy Angels (hmmm) is a collaboration with his wife, and former West Indian Girl front woman, Mariqueen Maandig. The snooty bastards over a Pitchfork have a stream of the first fruits of the EP which will be released this summer. It's called "A Drowning", and it's really quite wonderful, the music is unmistakably the work of Reznor, the haunting piano, coupled with the glitchy synthesised drums would not have seemed out of place on NIN's 'Year Zero'. Mrs Reznor's vocals fit it so well, it's a wonder they've not worked together before.
It's produced by Alan Moulder, who has previously worked with NIN, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, The Smashing Pumpkins and..er...Arctic Monkeys.
After feeling rather disappointed by Massive Attack's 'Heligoland' earlier this year, this might just give me my fix of broodingly beautiful darkness that I was after. hehe..
