How to Destroy Angels: HTDA ***

When Deadmau5 tells you to check out an EP from a new and fairly unknown band you kinda think two things
1) Shameless plug
2) He may be on to a good thing

How to destroy angels is the aptley self titled EP of the new post industiral band of the same name, and is is available as a free download from their website. HTDA are comprised of; Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig and Atticus Ross, however the slightly sinister sounding EP is not too far removed from the nine inch nails' sound which may prove as either an asset or a liability. As Trent is not singing on the record, the softer vocals provided by his wife give the more hypnotic airy sound and fits perfectly against the hard electronic instrumental. The heavy use of samples and programming may make you think this EP is completely "robotic" in nature, however the "organic" music aspect always comes through especially in the track "fur lined. As an EP it is good, but i would not feel compelled to listen to all of it, in one go; as the record begins to get dark and monotonous  thus sounding depressing when played continually. However saying that, there are a few damn good tracks in the form of; "fur lined", "parasite" and "BBB", which would definately make this a must download for anyone. I enjoyed listening to this piece of art, however dark it may feel, and am excited for this new band to progress and hopefully make and album. Hopefully not as dark but still edgy.
