Internet Girl has dropped their career's most daring and boundary-bursting project, their new EP "ROLE MODEL." The six-track record sees the band establish their signature mix of torn denim, high-voltage anthems as fucking indie, electronic, or hip-hop with oblique rapping and serrated lyricism.
With "ROLE MODEL," Internet Girl dives deep into the complexities of modern existence, broaching topics like parasocial relationships, mental health, and drug use. Every song is a gut punch, a peek into personal and societal struggles framed by electrifying instrumentals and emotive storytelling.
But "COKEHEAD" is an incredibly visceral storyline delivered with messy, depressing tones. At the same time, "EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF" has a chaotic end-of-the-world feeling in the music that reflects how cutthroat the world has become. "ROLE MODEL" makes no bones of it either, with Internet Girl ranging, experimenting, and hitting highs from start to finish, pushing their soundscape further into the unknown.
At 13 minutes and 30 seconds, "ROLE MODEL" is short, sharp, and positively impossible to ignore. It is an intoxicating testament to the rapidly growing influence of the Internet Girl on the alternative music landscape.
