I continue to grow depressed over the conversation around AI in the music industry. That doesn’t mean I don’t want the discussion to stop, but it’s still discouraging to continually blog more about AI rather than the curious energy that human beings put into making art.

Today, they return with the single “Hell 1000,” their first new music since releasing their debut EP What Do You Mean The Monster?\u2026 Hahaha<\/a> in May 2025.

How the fall of man gives rise to machine. A glimpse into how our emotions and achievements will mean nothing in the world we give to AI. How the world\u2019s elite run the media we consume whilst playing peekaboo, as they avoid responsibility for the inevitable mess they\u2019re creating.\u201d<\/p>\n Check it out below. <\/p>\n
