New Stuff: Trent Reznor and Karen O Do Zeppelin

-
I've been purposefully preventing myself to watch the original Swedish film trilogy that starts with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ever since I saw first mind-blowing trailer for David Fincher's upcoming remake.  That trailer, in addition to looking freaking awesome, was soundtracked by a most interesting snippet, that being the cover of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song by Trent Reznor and Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame.  Now, that track is available in full for your listening pleasure below.

The film's soundtrack is epic, to say the least.  Written and (mostly) performed by Reznor and Atticus Ross (whose score for The Social Network was pretty amazing in its own right and won a metric shit-tonne of awards), it clocks in at a double take-worthy three hours, and is in reputable record stores (as a 3-CD set) on December 27.  You can snag yourself a six-track sampler by submitting your email address (also below).  Also, if you're into the iTunes thing, pre-orders over there will also net you an instant download of Immigrant Song.  All pre-order options can be found here.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hits theatres December 21.  I've also thrown in a bitchin' trailer to get you pumped up.

IN REVIEW: Hey Rosetta! - "Second Sight"

There's a telling lyrical passage that stuck out to me upon listening to Newfoundland-based indie stalwarts Hey Rosetta's third full-length LP. During the uplifting, depression-battling anthem Cathedral Bells , singer Tim Baker exclaims, "the road is lit and I'm going home". It comes near the tail end of the album's most thrilling section of songs, during which the seven-piece (plus additional hands on deck for extra orchestration) take a formidable musical journey through several genres and moods. After exploring the arena-sized farthest reaches of Coldplay, the worldly rhythms of Vampire Weekend and the zealous, choral flourishes of Arcade Fire among others, it's the comfort of home that drives the group down the album's (pun intended, I suppose) home stretch. Long before we get to that point, however, we're treated to some of the band's most interesting material to date. The album starts with current single Soft Offering (for the Oft Suff...

As it turns out, something I said on this blog earlier this year had a little more resonance than I anticipated. From my January 15th article " What Are The Chances? ", where I gave a percentage chance for certain artists releasing a new album in 2013: 1% NINE INCH NAILS We know that Trent Reznor is gearing up to release How To Destroy Angels' debut. We also know that there's an Interscope-released Nine Inch Nails greatest hits collection being targeted for 2014, for which Reznor promises two new Nine Inch Nails songs. But, we also know Reznor likes to fuck with his fans and absolutely loved fucking with Interscope. What better way to do that than to bring out a brand new Nine Inch Nails record? What better way indeed? Surprise: A new #NIN album is finished, coming later this year on @ columbiarecords : tmblr.co/ZW-7vsm2kw_u #NIN2013 — Nine Inch Nails (@nineinchnails) May 28, 2013 Bravo, Mr. Reznor. I love it when a plan comes together. More on...
