BAD RECORDS

WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA is the explosive third studio album from American singer, songwriter and rapper Slayyyter, delivering her boldest and most uncompromising statement to date.

Blending pop, hyperpop, electroclash, industrial, punk and dance music, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA finds Slayyyter embracing the gritty energy of her Midwestern roots while pushing her sound into thrilling new territory. Inspired by the music that shaped her teenage years—from late-2000s pop to bloghouse, dance-rock and underground club culture—the album balances razor-sharp hooks with distorted production and fearless attitude.

Featuring standout singles BEAT UP CHANEL$, CANNIBALISM!, CRANK, DANCE... and OLD TECHNOLOGY, the album showcases Slayyyter's evolution as both a songwriter and performer. Equal parts chaotic, confident and deeply personal, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA cements her place as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary pop.

Mike Gordon's debut album as Mk.gee, Two Star & The Dream Police, is a groundbreaking fusion of pop, rock, and soul. Hailing from New Jersey, the 26-year-old musician redefines familiar genres with his unique approach to sound, incorporating unconventional tones, tempos, and textures. His distorted guitar riffs and soulful vocals, reminiscent of Prince, cut through murky, experimental mixes, creating a captivating sonic landscape that refuses to conform to traditional boundaries.

Despite his experimental tendencies, Gordon demonstrates a mastery of melody, crafting intricate and engaging pop songs from seemingly chaotic compositions. "Two Star" is both innovative and accessible, offering a fresh take on contemporary music while retaining a timeless quality.

While Gordon has been releasing EPs and mixtapes since 2017, it was his collaboration with Dijon on the latter's debut album, Absolutely, that introduced him to a wider audience in 2021. Their dynamic live performances, characterised by Gordon's frenetic guitar playing and Dijon's charismatic stage presence, exemplify the creative synergy between the two artists. Dijon credits Gordon with pushing him to new creative heights, infusing his music with a newfound rhythm and freedom. Absolutely marked a significant evolution for Dijon's sound, with Gordon's influence recognized as invaluable to the project's success.
