To be sure, people identify Zinner with his axe… The guitar is still present, but unlike the angular shards and shreds that punctured Yeah Yeah Yeahs tunes, meeting Karen O’s high pitched vocals that fluctuated between furious and innocent, they are delicate, resembling the batting of eyelashes. Along with other mesmeric uses of strings, they come in and out of the shoreline sands of synth like low tide. – Charles Steinberg, Under The Radar
Under The Radar magazine goes in for a deep dive with Nick Zinner, the composer of Jennifer Reeder’s new thriller, Knives And Skin!

But, Charles Steinberg wants us to understand that his score is not a Yeah Yeah Yeahs sound and Zinner’s efforts to push boundaries are evident, in this latest installment of his “Keeping Score” composer interview series over at Under The Radar. A must-read!
