I Hate Models - Forever Melancholia

I Hate Models is back with a bold new EP — five tracks marking a shift in his sound, to be released in a run of three singles. Forever Melancholia was first announced via a billboard advert in Times Square—the first drop is on November 14.

No heart is a stone unburned. Even the darkest soul must know of the light — to confront it, to reckon with it. In passing through time, the shadows cast by the light change shape and direction. They dart out in front, skew their strange angles and creep up behind.

Once, the light felt like a distant echo in the past, a wan energy barely able to penetrate the fog of the present. But behold the threshold and the new shadows cast as you pass through it. The light on the other side feels different — cast in viridian, heralding change, growth, but not yet warm.

The archway is cast in fluorite. Old expectations refract and splinter — prismatic illusions that struggle to form the forgotten self-image. The negative space which opens up around aches with new possibilities. Ambiguous outcomes inspire cryptic emotions — where once there was only resistance, now comes fragility. Lessons reveal themselves in unknowable shapes, every step another evolution of the shadow self.

The latest single from I Hate Models heralds a new chapter, shedding old habits and embracing a broader emotional palette without losing the fierce momentum of his thunderous, maverick techno.
