Nine Inch Nails have confirmed additional details about their upcoming Nine Inch Noize companion album, which will arrive on Friday, April 17th. Its release coincides with Nine Inch Noize’s live debut at Coachella.
The 12-song tracklist is structured in the same order as Nine Inch Noize’s thrilling weekend one Coachella setlist, featuring reworkings of Nine Inch Nails songs including “Vessel,” ” She’s Gone Away,” “Heresy,” “Copy of A,” “Closer,” “Came Back Haunted,” and “As Alive as You Need Me to Be.” Also included are new interpretations of How to Destroy Angels’ “Parasite” and Soft Cell’s “Memorabilia.”
Nine Inch Noize is a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and electronic producer Boys Noize, with Mariqueen Maandig rounding out the group’s live configuration. In a statement discussing the project, Reznor shared that the album was recorded “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.”
Reznor also confirmed that there is “no surprise tour announcement” for Nine Inch Noize post-Coachella weekend two. “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.”
Reznor, Ross, and Boys Noize first joined forces for 2024’s Challengers [MIXED], which they subsequently followed up by collaborating on the soundtrack to TRON: Ares and a remix album TRON Ares: Divergence. Boys Noize also joined NIN on the band’s “Peel It Back” tour.
In his review of Nine Inch Noize’s live debut at Coachella weekend one, our own Paolo Ragusa wrote that “the performance felt even more immersive and fully realized than a side-project detour might have suggested. It was a display of cathartic intensity, and a potent showcase for Reznor and company’s singular gift for controlled chaos.”
