Vinyl LP pressing includes two bonus tracks. 2013 full length debut album from this band featuring Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig and frequent collaborators Atticus Ross and Rob Sheridan. The songs on Welcome Oblivion are a little more subdued and atmospheric than the heavier industrial sound NIN is known for, with MaandigÆs voice softer and more ethereal than ReznorÆs typically aggressive vocals (which occasionally show up in the background). The sound is closest to the work Reznor did with Ross on the instrumental NIN album Ghosts I-IV and the soundtrack to The Social Network. Sometimes that means itÆs a little too diffuse and unfocused, and thereÆs nothing here as immediately memorable as NINÆs classic singles. But there are still plenty of well-crafted songs, including catchy lead single How Long? and the brittle, spooky Ice Age. This is a side project worth keeping around once Reznor heads back to his day job.
