B0YG1RL – MOND LAN FINI
South Florida boundary-pushing electronic band B0YG1RL has released their latest single “MOND LAN FINI” – out now with an accompanying music video via Surf Gang Records.
Produced alongside Prblm, Amne, Mozi Beatz and Trauma, “MOND LAN FINI” is an ear-crushing medley of bit-crushed gabber drum loops and lyrics sung in Creole, with the title directly translating to “world ending”. This single arrives as their first track back following the May release of their EXIT 2B EP, preceding a run of live dates across Miami, Los Angeles and New York, including direct support for Argentinian electronic artist Six Sex and appearances at III Points, and always forever Festival, and MoMA PS1, bringing their visual and sonic world into a series of club, festival and gallery spaces through the end of the year.
B0YG1RL is the Miami-based band fronted by June Vinette and Angela Rio, working across experimental electronic music and multimedia visual art. Their music draws from local Miami bass, baile funk, Haitian konpas and dembow, stitching these forms together with an interest in the spaces between club music, community and place. From the white-hot, fizzing-synth frenzy of their breakout single “Je M’appelle Tété” to the bludgeoning 808s and unexpected downtempo groundings of their EXIT 2B EP, B0YG1RL move between different registers without settling into a particular genre or scene. Released on Surf Gang Records in May of this year, EXIT 2B, which earned Best New Music and an 8.2 rating from Pitchfork, alongside a Best New Track for “Little Haiti”, extends this approach through rule-breaking club tracks and more restrained passages, using a raw, vérité style to explore community, resilience, Afro-diasporic storytelling and Miami geography. B0YG1RL’s visual work runs alongside the music, frequently archiving local oral histories and translating them into public video portraits, community-led activations and other mediums. Their work documents Black and Caribbean spaces across South Florida, paying particular attention to the textures and spiritual architecture of Miami. Across both sides of the project, B0YG1RL’s practice is rooted in the same place, with music and film offering different ways of tracing the people, histories and environments that surround them.
