Machine Girl’s iconic debut album ‘WLFGRL’ turned 10 in 2024. It launched Machine Girl into underground folklore, created a thriving scene for outsiders, freaks and weirdos, building the foundations for a massive fanbase of almost a million worldwide.
The reissue will be launched with a one-off livestreamed show at Trans-Pecos in Brooklyn, an important venue for the band over their 10-year career.
This album has never been distributed to physical retail and has never been released on CD before.
Equally apocalyptic and ecstatic, the music produced by Machine Girl is an explosive, cathartic blend of footwork, jungle, digital hardcore and rave. Debut full-length ‘WLFGRL’ became a major success online following its 2014 release, introducing breakcore and jungle to a generation of young listeners and influencing numerous producers. The duo shifted to a more punk-inspired sound with 2017’s ‘...Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For’, and founder Matt Stephenson teamed up with Kill Alters to form the duo Prolaps. Machine Girl released their first video game soundtrack, ‘Neon White’, in 2022.
Based in Long Island at the time, Matt Stephenson created Machine Girl in 2012. The project debuted with the track ‘Gravity Girl’ and the self-released 2013 EPs ‘13th Hour’ and ‘Electronic Gimp Music’, which were followed by several releases on London-based Dred Collective, including ‘WLFGRL’. The album’s remix EPs featured mixes by a variety of footwork, jungle and breakcore producers, ranging from DJ Earl of Chicago’s Teklife collective to Detroit’s Sinistarr.
Second full-length ‘Gemini’ was released by Orange Milk in 2015, receiving much acclaim from several music websites. Machine Girl toured across the United States extensively, often with drummer Sean Kelly. A split cassette with rhythmic noise artist Five Star Hotel appeared on Visual Disturbances/Emergency Tapes in 2016 as the two acts toured together.
Machine Girl returned to Orange Milk with ‘...Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For’, the project’s most vocal-heavy, punk-influenced release to date. Follow-up ‘The Ugly Art’ appeared on Kitty on Fire Records in 2018. ‘MG Demo Disc’ and ‘U-Void Synthesizer’ both appeared in 2020.#
Prolaps, Stephenson’s duo with Bonnie Baxter of Kill Alters, released its debut album, ‘Pure Mud, Vol. 7’, on Hausu Mountain. The duo then released a series of 120-minute mixes of all-new material, ‘Ultra Cycle Pts. 1-4’, on the first day of each season in 2021.
