Machine Girl

About

Machine Girl is the sonic embodiment of chaos and catharsis, a Brooklyn-based electronic punk project that defies genre boundaries with its frenetic energy and unrelenting creativity. Spearheaded by Matt Stephenson, the project fuses breakcore, digital hardcore, and noise into a blistering soundscape that feels like a fever dream of distorted beats and anarchic melodies. Drawing inspiration from the raw intensity of Atari Teenage Riot and the glitchy experimentation of Aphex Twin, Machine Girl’s music is a visceral assault on the senses, designed to provoke and exhilarate in equal measure. Since its inception in 2012, Machine Girl has carved out a niche as a cult favorite in the underground music scene. The 2017 album *...Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For* marked a breakthrough, earning critical acclaim for its uncompromising vision and technical prowess. Known for their explosive live performances, Machine Girl has become a staple at DIY venues and festivals, captivating audiences with their high-octane shows. Culturally, Machine Girl represents a rebellion against complacency, blending political commentary with absurdist humor. Their work often explores themes of alienation, technology, and societal decay, resonating deeply with a generation disillusioned by the status quo. Collaborations with artists like Death Grips and contributions to video game soundtracks, such as *The Red Strings Club*, have further cemented their reputation as boundary-pushing innovators. Currently, Machine Girl continues to push their sound forward, with recent releases like *WLFGRL* remixes and hints of new material on the horizon. Their relentless evolution ensures they remain at the forefront of experimental electronic music.
