In a conversation with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio last year, Trent Reznor presented his new music as an antidote to current pop music. “Something that we have always felt strongly about is the role of what we call rock has been one that should feel untethered and filled with expression and uncompromised and at times challenging,” Reznor said. “In general, it seems from my perspective, and I feel Atticus feels the same way, that most entertainment, particularly music is pretty boring. Certainly, rock is boring.
“A lot of what’s blessed as ‘the cool thing’ feels pretty generic and also feels, a lot of it, like a desperate plea for commercial airplay and success,” he continued. “That combined with just our own worldview and a kind of daydream I was having led to ‘Let’s make a record that feels challenging, and exciting to us …’ I wanted the music to sound kind of ugly and to sound unfriendly, not suck you in with a sexy hook.”
No release date has been announced for Nine Inch Nails’ third and final EP. The band has four live dates scheduled at festivals around the U.S. this summer. Speaking with Lowe on Thursday, Reznor said he hoped to tour more frequently in the future. “When I imagine myself on stage again with the new material we have to play,” he explained, “it seemed like something that felt uncomfortable – and felt exciting.”
