Machine Girl, the highly acclaimed New York-based electronic hardcore duo, have just released a new track, "Motherfather," from their forthcoming album MG Ultra, set for release on October 18th. One of the most straightforward tracks on the album, "Motherfather" is also the catchiest, blending elements of electronic, anthemic hardcore and pop along with other Web 1.0 reference points. The song is accompanied by a video directed by John Lee (PFFR, Wonder Showzen), featuring a self-generative AI frame blending technique. Lee explains of his inspirations from the song: “Motherfather is a smash of all things intended to work well but only make a mess by mere existence - technology, love, marriage, creation.” Machine Girl continues on the video style / process:  “Disclaimer: All of the AI effects in the video were self-generated using original footage and 3D models that were recorded/made specifically for this video, giving it that uncanny nightmare fuel effect.. I was personally assured by the director John Lee (PFFR founder, co-creator of Wonder Showzen and Xavier Renegade Angel) that his sentiments on generative AI are the same as mine (that it sucks and is deeply unethical). Enjoy <3” You can watch it here.  Watch the video for “Motherfather” HERE Watch the video for “Until I Die” HERE Pre-order MG Ultra HERE MG Ultra is the culmination of a decade long awareness of this oft undeclared fact: what we fear about the future is evidenced in the crises taking place now. In the face of these themes, Machine Girl offers the harshest rebuke. MG Ultra, their sixth studio album, and first since 2020, could be interpreted as double entendre: a kind of manic collision between the different genres explored in previous MG releases in their most distilled, ultimate form, alongside the obvious intelligence reference. MG Ultra playfully institutionalizes the battle against alienation, dysmorphia, estrangement, commodification, and the gentrification of the mind through a complex sonic narrative.  Beginning in 2012, Machine Girl is a project born from the hyperfixations of its progenitor, Matthew Stephenson. Taking cues from the character of Chicago footwork and a semblance of hypermobile, wide-ranging cultural references that stem from digital cultures, Machine Girl has been interchangeable with DIY culture, a lo-fi sound with a distinctly hi-fi, maximalist cultural vision. These are tracks for a generation with a hunger for stimulation, owing as much to the frenetic sound of metal and hardcore as they are a love letter to electronic “hardcore”. Machine Girl draw together the lesser known genres native to web 1.0 into a breakneck act that actualizes most clearly in their notorious live performances. The mediums, as various as they are, are the message. In contrast to traditional artist-audience hierarchies Machine Girl has grown to inescapable underground popularity by shunning traditional visibility, remaining close to the scenes and punk ethos integral to the communities they were birthed from.  The duo recently announced a tour in support of the album. Kicking off with a Halloween show in Brooklyn, the 29-date tour will make stops in DC, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and many more before wrapping up in Montreal on Dec 19th (full dates below). Support on the tour will include Snooper, Lighting Bolt and Femtanyl on select dates. Tickets for the tour can be found HERE.
