MACHINE GIRL — The Ugly Art LP 2x12"

Machine Girl – The Ugly Art LP arrives on Future Classics as a double-12-inch set (catalogue FCL688LP2) that finally gives the fan-favorite album a proper physical home. Issued in a striking Lightning Purple Vinyl, the techno-leaning record follows the act’s reputation for a relentless blend of punk, rave, metal and breakcore, now distilled into a format that invites both loud-room play and careful needle work. While Future Classics has no other listed entries to frame this issue, Machine Girl’s recent output provides a useful point of reference. The duo’s 2025 double-LP WLFGRL (VMG 39159291) pushed the same confrontational aesthetic across two vinyl discs, and the 2024 SUPER FREQ EP (FREQ Records FREQ001) offered a more compact, club-ready statement. The Ugly Art LP builds on that trajectory, expanding the scope to a full album experience. Side A opens with “This Is Your Face On Dogs”, a title that hints at a confrontational mood, followed by “A Song Called Clive Barker” and “Kill Screen”, each advancing the record’s kinetic drive. “Status” closes the side, maintaining the relentless energy established earlier and setting up the deeper textures that arrive on Side B. The B-side begins with “First Five Years of Life”, a track that suggests a reflective yet still urgent tone, before moving through “Necro Culture Vulture”, “Congratulations”, “Roach On Dope” and “Psycho Signal Jammer”. These cuts collectively sustain the album’s aggressive tempo while offering subtle shifts in atmosphere that keep the momentum fluid. Side C shifts slightly with “Loop Version”, a title that implies a hypnotic repetition suited to extended mixing, followed by the provocatively titled “Fuck Puppet” and “Fuck Your Guns”. “Nwofka Skullboy” rounds out the side, delivering a darker edge that prepares the listener for the final statements on Side D. The closing quartet – “Full Metal Dipshit”, “Where Were You?” and “A Decent Man” – balances the record’s abrasive core with moments that feel almost contemplative, providing DJs with versatile closing material that can either wind down a set or re-ignite the floor. Within Machine Girl’s catalogue, The Ugly Art LP marks the first time the album is available on vinyl, translating a body of work previously circulated digitally into a tactile format. This move aligns with the act’s pattern of delivering high-impact releases across varied mediums, from the earlier WLFGRL LP to the more succinct SUPER FREQ EP, each reinforcing their reputation for genre-bending intensity. For DJs, the double-LP offers a rich palette: the A-side tracks work well as opening statements or peak-time bursts, the B-side provides mid-set sustenance, while the C- and D-sides supply deeper, more experimental moments ideal for late-night transitions or set conclusions. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive sequencing that mirrors the album’s original flow, now rendered in a vivid purple vinyl that stands out both visually and sonically. The release is pressed as a 2×12-inch set, presented in Lightning Purple Vinyl, matching the bold aesthetic of the music. Its format invites both loud, dancefloor-oriented playback and the detailed listening experience prized by vinyl enthusiasts.
