Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Renor and Atticus Ross discussed the creation of their song “The Lovers” on the latest episode of “Song Exploder.” There’s a discussion of the song’s themes, the gear used on the track, and the roles each of them played in its creation. Listen below. The track appears on their Add Violence EP, which was released in July. The record is the second installment in a trilogy of EPs following Not the Actual Events. (It’s currently unclear when the third installment in the series will arrive.) The band made a memorable appearance on “Twin Peaks” as “the Nine Inch Nails” earlier this year.
