Trent Reznor produced four tracks on Prick self-titled debut record
Trent Reznor produced four songs for the new wave band Lucky Pierre member Kevin McMahon on their self-titled debut album.
Reznor production credits and influence
Trent Reznor is officially credited as the producer on four tracks of Prick's self-titled debut record. Although he was not listed for every song, his fingerprints appear across the entire album. The band embraces a theatrical industrial punk style that differs from Nine Inch Nails.
Musical style and vocal delivery
The opener Communiqué features fuzzy punk riffs with electronic elements added to the sound. Vocals occasionally shift from half-spoken verses to full-throated screams similar to Al Jourgensen. The second track Riverhead shows where Reznor's specific influences become most apparent.
Recording process and instrumentation
Kevin McMahon lent some production talents to Reznor while the latter worked on The Downward Spiral. The album focuses on live instrumentation with a rough-around-the-edges production quality. This approach feels like a prototype for what Reznor would revisit later.
