The Ocean have shared their cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Even Deeper.” The track will appear on Magnetic Eye Records’ upcoming tribute album “The Best Of NIN Redux.” That compilation will be released on November 28 alongside a tribute to “The Downward Spiral” called “The Downward Spiral Redux.” Guitarist Robin Staps commented:
“When Nine Inch Nails released the double-album ”The Fragile’ in 1999, it was an eye-opening record for Loïc and me in many ways. The sheer scope of this album, the production marrying fat electronics with broken, organic, and acoustic elements that are intentionally slightly out of tune – no one else had done it like that before. Initially, we wanted to cover ‘The Great Below’, but someone had already picked that track, which made ‘Even Deeper’ our second choice. In hindsight, we were lucky with that. It is the perfect track for us and I like to think that we managed to make it ours, while honouring the original. Special thanks go out to Simen from Spurv and Orestis from Playgrounded for contributing trombone and synths. This is also a farewell, big thank you, and send-off to Loïc, as it was the final track that we recorded with him on vocals!”
