Today marks the release of the new @hand_model album “Stuffing a Large Black Bird”, streaming everywhere and available on 10” vinyl via Bandcamp. A bruised take on indie rock, “Stuffing a Large Black Bird” incorporates the raw edge of grunge, the leaden weight of slowcore, while rejecting nostalgia. The songs maintain an undercurrent of noise, filled out by samples and field recordings of construction sites and wild animals. The instrumentals are accompanied by Frege’s sardonic lyrics ranging from wistful memories of partying to criticisms of space travel to political propaganda, with no stone left unturned.

The title “Stuffing a Large Black Bird” is inspired by “Correction”, a novel by Thomas Bernhard, in which a man watches from a distance as his childhood friend taxidermies a mysterious bird late into the night, the two processing a shared and deeply personal life event.

Written and performed by Ignat Frege (drums, vocals), Jess Labrador (guitar @chasms____), Nathan Burger (bass), Zack Frederick (synth, sampler, vocals @206666666z). “Toxic Flower” and “Game Changers” were co-written with Morgan Fox @glovedhands. Recorded live at The Howling Wasteland, CA. Mixed by Ignat Frege and Jess Labrador. Mastered by Jess Labrador. Album art by @kathryn__mohr. @dumb_edge 002 (2026). taken in Los Angeles, California by @hand_model

June 25th does not exist in itself, but arrives in luxurious discomfort, blanketing you in the beers that @knucklehead_hwood provides, where @machinekiit @field_of_fear @hand_model @filoplume_band will induce a profound sense of existential hoariness in you, but lets not flatter the walls, lets not expect anything but terrible loud noises, lets not buy tickets in advance (for there are no advance tickets), instead, lets just drive there and pay at the door the day of, as you would with any other hopeless dream, gathering like witnesses to some minor catastrophe we all will vaguely remember for a long time, but not quite be able to recount all the details of. taken in Knucklehead by @hand_model
