It sounds like she's saying disassembling.

Best music video I've seen in years IMHO!

I felt like I got video Rick Roll'd.

With the way the title is stylized, my Year Zero offshoot theory doesn't seem that crazy

I knew it reminded me of something. Akira Yamaoka goes hand in hand with these guys sometimes. All very talented buggers

Meh, just something about this side project rubs me the wrong way. I think i'll just hold off for the next NIN record if that ever comes out. I juat can't get into HTDA no matter how hard I try, and this track is no exception. I Think it's her voice that bothers me. Even with Trent singing more clearly on this song couldn't save it, so maybe my problem with the song lies a little deeper than Mariqueen's voice. It's very repetitive and kinda of drones on for 5 minutes. It's almost like the song is building up to something, but then just fades out and you're left still waiting for that big payoff.

Yes! A million times, yes! I liked the beginning but kept waiting for some sort of climax that never came!

I am with you 100%. I keep hearing how this is going to be different than the first EP, and it sounds the same. Best song HTDA has done was the cover on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack. Not a good sign when you best effort is a cover.

Has Trent been on Radio One yet?
THe new song is cool, but I can't say i'm blown away. I can see it being a grower though. I guess HTDA is going to be a bit like that.

New single, new video, and we're cluttering up the EP discussion thread

All i can say is... eh?
words.exe
Well, no one ever said we'd be getting a real music video for the song. Trent said they were working on "videos", and this probably isn't one of them.
I'll admit, I sat there the whole time waiting for something to happen, like the console blowing up or something.
Kind of like how I waited for something to really happen with the song.

Well everyone is entitled to their own taste and opiniont so it's all good. Not that you needed my permission in the first place or anything. I'm actually adoring their sound. It's so calm and collected. I'd go as far as to say I'm looking forward to the EP and LP more than potential new NIN stuff.

I don't think the anticipation and hype serves this music well. I really enjoyed the track, but I don't see HTDA being the kind of music that blows your head off right off the bat. This might be music to come back to after the hype has died down a little. I found the same with the first EP and the Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack. It's seething and it gets under skin, all it needs is time.
Very reminiscent of Massive Attack in my opinion.

I love the new song. It'll aid me in writing papers this semester I'm sure haha.
Throbbing Member
Kinda slower then I'd expect for a single, but I like it.
Flaccid Member
I really enjoyed it, wish I had my headphones cause I really appreciate the ambiance and left/right work.

I wonder if the video is ONLY trolling, or is related to the tape distortion of the artwork?
Stubby Member
Oh, hey, this isn't so bad! Is this going to be the vibe they're going for with all their stuff, though? This very downbeat, ambient pop? "Keep it together___" is nice and all, but even an EP of songs that sound exactly like this would grow stale quickly. It appeals to the side of me that really likes weird noises, but there's not much tune to it, it's all tension and no release.

I'm surprised more people haven't seen music videos like that. Either debut stuff or people filming a vinyl playing.
Example:

I think Trent doesn't really give a shit about actual music videos anymore, so he just did it this way because he thought it was neat to show it playing off the reel.
Throbbing Member
It's probably not a music video. It's probably just a way of putting a song on youtube more interestingly than using a still image.
Has Trent been on Zane Lowe's show yet? edit: fuck missed it. what did he say
Stubby Member
He said they were going for quite a restrained approach this time around and experimenting with "space" in the music, something he "never really did with NIN". That and the full length LP is 98% finished.
Other than that nothing particularly insightful. Zane was trying to get more out of him but it didn't seem like he wanted to give anything away.
98%. Haha. Cry.
Flaccid Member
I can definitely see what he meant by that, I only have listened to it on these shitty desktop speakers here at work and it 'felt' like a 'deep' song if you know what I mean. Honestly I didn't even listen to the vocals the couple times I listened to it, this one will be on repeat for a while picking out all the little things.
Active Member
That was one of my thoughts. It's much better than a static image that most use. The first 40sec of audio though...

this is fucking doooopeee

Not sure if I'm a big fan of this track, i don't hate it but really.... another "Discipline" style vocal hiccup, juggling vocal takes from Trent and Mariqueen with no real melody just out of sync and messy sounding.....
Some of Q's vocals even sound out of place in spots over this beat, it doesn't flow well for me...
I'm trying to find something to really hang on to here, something to like...
Listening to this track over and over, something's gotta give!
I can't see this as single and winning over the mainstream to a new band that's for sure.

This is what "SOON" means!
