LOS ANGELES—Trent Reznor and Alex Ridha, known collectively as Nine Inch Noize, reportedly recorded their upcoming collaborative LP, Nine Inch Noize, in studios, hotels, planes, and even a particularly noisy Parisian laundromat. The album, set to drop Friday, will feature the signature industrial grind of Nine Inch Nails fused with the relentless pulse of Boys Noize. Sources close to the project confirmed that the ubiquitous nature of its recording locations was a deliberate artistic choice. “We wanted to capture the authentic sound of modern existence,” said Reznor, who was reached via satellite phone from a moving truck. “That includes the hum of a 747’s engine and the existential dread of a continental breakfast buffet.”
Sessions Held Across Continents
The prolific pair reportedly laid down tracks during a whirlwind global tour. Sessions allegedly took place in a cramped airplane lavatory, a dimly lit underground club in Berlin, and a surprisingly echoey abandoned bowling alley in Cleveland. “The creative process for Nine Inch Noize was truly organic,” explained Ridha, speaking from what sounded suspiciously like a casino floor. “We found inspiration in the symphony of everyday life. A particularly aggressive squeegee sound from a window washer in Tokyo became a core element of track three.” The duo plans to release a companion documentary detailing their nomadic recording journey.

The Sound of Travel
Critics anticipate the album will capture a unique sonic tapestry. “It’s the sound of pure, unadulterated travel,” offered music critic Brenda T. Sacks, Senior Analyst of Sonic Wandering at the Institute for Nomadic Sound Studies. “You’ll hear the muffled announcements of arriving flights, the clang of room service carts, and the distinct anxiety of forgetting your phone charger.” Nine Inch Noize’s commitment to recording their entire album in a state of perpetual motion sets a new precedent for the arduous recording process.
At press time, the duo announced a surprise pop-up performance on a moving bullet train to celebrate the album’s release, promising more sounds of transit.
