Trent Reznor & Karen O: “We’ve made Zep more aggressive”

Just a brief supplement to Sasha’s post about Reznor & Ross below. Different enough to merit a second headline. First, you can download 6 free tracks from the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack at this link. On that page you’ll also find a portal for ordering the full album in a variety of formats, both digital and disc. (thanks to glimmer for the link) Next, you can read a great conversation with Trent Reznor and Karen 0 discussing their collaboration on Immigrant Song.

Heavy electronic beats, distortion and a wailing cry from Karen gives it a futuristic edge.

“When I went into the studio to record the song I was feeling pretty angsty,” says Karen. “And I poured all my torment into the track as Trent’s section was pretty rad.

“It’s ballsy with the primal scream in there which was really fun and liberating to do.”
