Nine Inch Nails on the role of the modern musician, Kanye & This Is America
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross chat to Lauren about the trilogy of music releases that concludes with Bad Witch; staying relevant after 30 years in the business; Kanye West and Childish Gambino.
Their latest music reflects modern-day politics, everyday anxieties, and the "raging culture war" they find themselves in. Trent believes musicians have a responsibility to speak out - perhaps even more so nowadays, as a parent with young kids - and they will continue to tell the truth...even if it costs them some fans.
Ever-opinionated, and articulate, Trent reflects on the increasingly reduced attention span of music fans; the social media and marketing now expected of an artist; and how quickly people move on, when an album is released to the world.
Plus, as they prepare for a huge tour of North America, they reveal how they make sure their live performances remain exciting and, very important point this one, original!
