How To Destroy Angels is a new band containing Mariqueen Maandig, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (who in my head, but probably not in reality, shares his first name with the Latin for attic.) They seem to sound like latter-era Nine Inch Nails but with a female vocalist. This is pleasing news because:
- I like Nine Inch Nails
- About 70% of music I’ve listened to this last year has had a female vocalist
Their first single, A Drowning, is available from Amazon as an MP3 or from iTunes as whatever the fuck file format they use these days. They’ve also produced a video for another song, The Space In Between. This is handy, because it gives me something to embed.
Final thought: I keep writing their name as How To Destroy Angles.
I love that I can rely on checking here occassionally to find awesome stuff that I should already know about. Very nice sound!
I sort of went off NIN and TR for a bit, but i really like this. I notice it’s similar theme to the last few nin albums, both in lyrics and musical style. I haven’t checked but certainly sounds like trent wrote the lyrics.
