Hand Model\u00a0is the solo project of Ignat Frege, one half of the experimental metal band\u00a0Wreck and Reference. In Wreck and Reference, Frege contributed production, acoustic drums, and vocals to their warped soundscapes. The last decade saw seven releases from the band and collaborations with diverse artists such as How To Dress Well, La Dispute, and fine art photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, including a performance during his multimedia installation at the Tate Modern Museum in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On\u00a0Hand Model\u2019s new EP\u00a0\u2018Game Changers\u2019\u00a0(out April 29, 2022), Frege has teamed up with Gloved Hands, one of the many aliases of Morgan Fox, who has released music across the spectrum of genres from punk to ambient on labels such as Ghost Ramp and Kompakt. Fox\u2019s strangely infectious electronic music provides the foundation for Frege\u2019s apocalyptic reactions. Together, they achieved a kick drum laden \u201cdystopop,\u201d a reflective disco in which fear meets groove.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Game Changers\u2019\u00a0is music for the end times and the dance floor, with Frege and Fox letting us know that we don\u2019t need to feel guilty about having both.\u00a0Hand Model offers a first look at\u00a0\u2018Game Changers\u2019\u00a0with a video for its first single, Toxic Flower<\/em>.
