Since Trent Reznor’s “retirement” of Nine Inch Nails only lasted a mere four years, it comes as no surprise that the head Nail announced today that he was adding a slew of tour dates to Nine Inch Nails’ preexisting summer festival dates, and then announced a brand new album, and then announced a new single.
First off, the new album—it’s called Hesitation Marks, and is set for a September 3 release date via Columbia Records. The band will be launching a lengthy tour, dubbed Tension 2013, in support of the album (full list of dates below). Progressive hotshots Godspeed You! You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky will be the tour openers.
As for the new single, “Came Back Haunted,” it merges the beep-blipped, dance-y technophilia of Reznor’s Pretty Hate Machine era with some of the more experimental noise of Year Zero.
