A few weeks ago when I was talking about How To Destroy Angels, the side project Trent Reznor has bern working on with his wife Mariqueen and his compoaing partner Atticus Ross, I was wondering if we'd ever hear any new NIN music. Well it looks like my prayers have been answered, because Trent recently revealed that he plans to release a new NIN compilation in 2014.
"Yeah, there will be new music. There are some things in the works," he said to Rolling Stone, also hinting at live NIN shows. "Yeah, if it feels right, it's a possibility. . . . I never said that that wasn't going to happen, just that it couldn't go on as it was."
The compilation will only feature two new songs, and that should get longtime fans' appetites wet for a new album, which Trent says he will begin writing afterwards. So that means it could be about 2016 before we get a full NIN record. While I would be quick to bitch about the long wait, I'm giving Trent the benefit of the doubt since I know he's got his hands full. My only question is why is it taking two years to drop a greatest Hits compilation, when all you have to do is sort through your collection of songs. Shouldn't that take like five minutes?
In addition to working on new music, he's been busy working with Dr. Dre's (who we have been waiting for over a decade to release Detox) Beats By Dre on a new music streaming project, with a working name of Daisy. Set for an early 2013 release, the project is meant to help users sort through songs in a way that services like Spotify do not. He's also composing the soundtrack to the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and lending a hand to the new Queens of the Stone Age album.
