2010’s
self-titled EP was the first offering from Trent Reznor and Mariqueen Maandig’s
new venture, How To Destroy Angels. It
starts with the superb industrial electronica of The Space In Between, which
packs an insane amount of brooding tension into three and a half minutes. It’s one of the finest things Reznor has done
in years.
The EP is a
bit of a mixed bag of styles. Normal
service resumes with the scratchy Parasite, probably the track most like Nine
Inch Nails. Much more representative are
the pulsing, dance-tinged Fur Lined and BBB.
The EP finishes with A Drowning, a fine example of icy electronica with
a hint of Shirley Manson about it.
It’s an
interesting diversion for Reznor (this is as diverse as he gets!) if a little
hit and miss.
