This is Gabrielle's favourite discovery of 2010.
Trent Reznor took Nine Inch Nails on the road for a tour he called "Wave Goodbye," which was meant to represent the retirement of Nine Inch Nails as a band.
But Reznor didn't hang up the musical spurs for long, as he is back with How to Destroy Angels, a group that consists of himself, his wife (and former West Indian Girl singer) Mariqueen Maandig and producer Atticus Ross. The group is named after a 1984 Coil single of the same name.
In keeping with recent trends, Reznor has provided the entirety of How to Destroy Angels' self-titled debut EP for free.
The EP doesn't carry the Nine Inch Nails name, but the music is consistent with Reznor's latter-day output. It's a series of claustrophobic ambient soundscapes interrupted by blasts of distorted rock and stuttering dance beats.
Most of the vocals are handled by Maandig, who infuses the tracks with a haunting humanity and a lovely sense of melody.
