big long sun are a Brighton-based eight-piece — Mina-Mae Alexander, Jamie Broughton, Ocean Goucher, Zofia Szymanowska, Oliver Parkes, Tom Gregory, Malte Henning, and Robert Smyth — that make “sonic bedroom art rock pop noises … for dreaming.” That last bit is real important to their loose-limbed folk oeuvre.

Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus, GIGAN‘s first album in seven years, was released October 25, 2024 on CD, Ltd edition CD long box, vinyl, cassette, Ltd edition four-album cassette boxset, and digital formats via Willowtip Records.
Since 2005, GIGAN has been an unsung vanguard of abstract and creatively dissonant extreme metal. Pushing boundaries and never compromising the artistic vision throughout the debut EP and subsequent four full-length albums has led GIGAN to be considered an unwavering force of both innovation and extremity.
It has been almost seven years since GIGAN has released new music and the time spent away has only honed and sharpened the still-deadly blades of creativity for which GIGAN has always been known; while also infusing fresh elements not yet heard within the GIGAN Universe. The results of GIGAN’s current hard work is the new beast of an album entitled AnomalousAbstractigate Infinitessimus.
A new metal reinterpretation of Internet Girl, originally by KATSEYE, is scheduled for release on March 12 as the first officially licensed metal cover of the song available on streaming platforms. The track features vocals by Fae Fatale, a Los Angeles-based singer, in collaboration with producer and musician Derek Hung.
The project originated through interaction on TikTok, where Hung shared a metal instrumental version of the song incorporating the original KATSEYE vocals. After receiving a comment suggesting the addition of more aggressive, “girly scream’’ style vocals, he invited the vocalist to participate in a full collaborative cover.
The remix gained early online traction, with the TikTok instrumental clip attracting significant engagement, including a comment from Megan Skiendiel.
Based in Anaheim, California, Hung is a metal vocalist, guitarist, and producer with a following of over 60,000 users on TikTok. His career highlights include a feature appearance during Thirty Seconds to Mars’ 2023 performance at Lollapalooza and his work leading the metal projects Catalust and Luxe Exit. His latest single has surpassed 200,000 streams and forms part of the promotion cycle for an upcoming collaborative album with Dal Av.
The remix was mixed and mastered by Scottay Seigel, whose portfolio includes work with acts such as Woe Is Me, Jackson Rose, Darknet, and Andy Cizek.
The single release is accompanied by custom artwork and a Spotify Canvas visual created with digital artist Eliza. The visual concept combines cyber-goth and digital-grunge aesthetics while preserving the emotional tone of the original composition and reflecting the artistic identities behind the project.
Get ready!! This metal reimagining is about to hit your speakers!
