Some good news for your Friday, we have two new Nine Inch Nails albums. Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts, combined have 23 instrumental tracks and continue NIN’s Ghost series from back in 2008.
Both albums are available right now. The duo shared an open letter on their website along with the release.
“Weird times indeed,” the letter begins. “As the news seems to turn ever more grim by the hour, we’ve found ourselves vacillating wildly between feeling like there may be hope at times to utter despair – often changing minute to minute.
“Although each of us define ourselves as antisocial-types who prefer being on our own, this situation has really made us appreciate the power and need for connection.
“Music – whether listening to it, thinking about it or creating it – has always been the thing that helped us get through anything – good or bad. With that in mind, we decided to burn the midnight oil and complete these new ghosts records as a means of staying somewhat sane.”
Nine Inch Nails reckons Ghosts V: Together is for, “when things seem like it might all be okay.” As for Ghosts VI: Locusts they say, “you’ll figure it out.”
“It made us feel better to make these and it feels good to share them. music has always had a way of making us feel a little less alone in the world… and hopefully it does for you, too. Remember, everyone is in this thing together and this too shall pass.”
