Its an EP because that ended up being the proper length to tell that story.
The EP announcement wasnt the only piece of Nine Inch Nails news Reznor shared.
Beginning withNot the Actual Events, he said, composer Atticus Ross has officially joined the band.
TitledThe Fragile: Deviations 1and created in conjunction with Ross, the release wont be available on digital services.
The Fragileoccupies a very interesting and intimate place in my heart, Reznor wrote.
The result paints a complimentary but different picture we wanted to share.
We want to present the catalog as it was intended to be, with no compromises, he noted.
