NINE INCH NOIZE — the collaborative project between recent “Peel It Back” tourmates Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize (the Berlin-based producer, songwriter and DJ also known as Alexander Ridha) — will release its debut album, “Nine Inch Nails – Nine Inch Noize”, this Friday, April 17, via Interscope Records.
About NINE INCH NAILS’ work with Boys Noize and this album, NIN leader Trent Reznor said: “The creative fulfillment of working on the ‘Challengers’ and ‘Tron’ scores with Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the ‘Peel It Back’ tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live — a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time. The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing in some way.
“On a whim I mentioned it would be cool to play a whole set as NINE INCH NOIZE in the Sahara tent at Coachella. Careful what you wish for…the next thing I knew we were designing a whole new show to present in the way it deserved.
“There’s no surprise tour announcement — this Saturday is it. I’m taking Sunday off and excited to be working on new NINE INCH NAILS music Monday — I’ll see you when I come up for air.
“We recorded this album all over the place — some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels, planes, etc. We had a lot of fun revisiting these songs and hope you enjoy. Listen LOUD.”
“Nine Inch Nails – Nine Inch Noize” features reimagined versions of nine Nine Inch Nails tracks, including “Closer” and “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” — the Grammy-winning standout from “Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)” — as well as “Parasite” by How to Destroy Angels.
