Support: https://drumcorps.bandcamp.com/album/better-days

In this year of things falling apart, Drumcorps goes leaner & meaner, keeping a certain tenderness & melodic sparkle. There's only one way, and so we hear Aaron picking up scream duties for the first time, as well as the rest of the instruments. The transition from the old days of hyper-sampling is complete, and now the mashup forces are focused on deconstructing original work as soon as it's made. Build to destroy, to remake anew.

There's an ocean of harsh noise, electronic textures, sub-bass & jungle breaks, but all elements are concise & to the point, serving the song first. It's all woven carefully into the flow, built into the tunes as integral elements of a whole.

Thematically it's a willingness to engage with the darkest reality, but an outright refusal to yield to cynicism - essentially hardcore punk filtered through a diversity of experience and influence. A soundtrack for our remaining time in late-stage capitalism. For fans of hardcore, metal, d-beat, noise, and electronic soundsystem culture alike, there's common ground, and a way forward. Isn't what it's all about?

Machine Girl have made it their job to consistently produce truly impressive digital chaos. The Ugly Art is their first release with live drums that make their performances an experience and not just a show. No gimmicks. Real genuine Cyber Punk. Vastly experimental, their sound is becoming increasingly difficult to compare to other artists as it stands alone taking very real risks. Body horror meets heart warming nostalgia.
