Download: Karen O with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross – Immigrant Song


We’ve loved the Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross version of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song featuring Karen O of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs on vocals, since we first heard it used in the trailer. We love it so much that we’ve given it away as a download below.

You can get six-track teaser which can be downloaded for free, via Reznor’s NullCo site, with pre-orders for the usual purchases, like a digi download, a deluxe and standard CD. The best part of all that, is the album is actually three CDs long (39 tracks in total!), for the price of about one.

The digital set comes out this Friday and the physical merchandise arrives the same week as the release of the David Fincher remake of the classic Swedish film The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Dec 21st).
