How to destroy angels_ – “The Loop Closes”

How to destroy angels_, the new project that Trent Reznor formed with wife Mariqueen Maandig and frequent collaborator Atticus Ross in 2010, already have a pair of EPs to their name, including last year’s An omen_. And this morning, they’re announcing that they’re about ready to release their debut album. It’s called Welcome oblivion, and it’s out 3/5 on Columbia. There will be more details to come, to be sure, but right now, that’s all we get: A title, a release date, and a record label. In the meantime, they’ve also shared a video for “The Loop Closes,” a sputtering and clanking industrial groover from An omen_. It’s a damaged, staticy video, full of random distorted images and intense close-ups on Reznor and Maandig.
