about

Hand Model is the solo project of Ignat Frege, one half of the experimental metal band Wreck and Reference. In Wreck and Reference, Frege contributed production, acoustic drums, and vocals to their warped soundscapes. The last decade saw seven releases from the band and collaborations with diverse artists such as How To Dress Well, La Dispute, and fine art photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, including a performance during his multimedia installation at the Tate Modern Museum in London.

On Hand Model’s new EP Game Changers (The Flenser, 2022), Frege has teamed up with Gloved Hands, one of the many aliases of Morgan Fox, who has released music across the spectrum of genres from punk to ambient on labels such as Ghost Ramp and Kompakt. Fox’s strangely infectious electronic music provides the foundation for Frege’s apocalyptic reactions. Together, they achieved a kick drum laden “dystopop,” a reflective disco in which fear meets groove. Game Changers is music for the end times and the dance floor, with Frege and Fox letting us know that we don’t need to feel guilty about having both.
