Machine Girl - The Ugly Art Machine Girl

A CD and vinyl press of Machine Girl’s seminal and highly requested album ‘The Ugly Art’, which has only ever seen a physical release on cassette, leaving fans on online forums and auction sites hungry for a pressing on vinyl and CD.

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 the 2014 full-length ‘WLFGRL’.
