Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" | One Song Podcast - Full Episode

What makes a song sexy vs. sleazy? This week, we’re getting into the rare industrial mainstream hit with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. Diallo and LUXXURY break down the violent, visceral, and fluid-drenched origin of the industrial scene and what separates it from subcultures like the punks and goths. Then, we break open the stems to get into the distinctly Reznor-ian blend of distorted samples, stabby synths, and pounding bass, before getting to potentially the most vulgar chorus lyric of all time. Let us know in the comments: Is “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails a sexy song or a sleazy song?
