The Internet
Biography The Internet
The Internet
began as two people – Sydney and Matt. Sydney taught herself how to record, engineer, and produce at age 15. She also sings, imbuing every song with a sultry, mellifluous, quiet power. Matt produces and plays synths. She’s now 23; he’s now 26. Like all post-modern relationships, the duo initially met on Myspace in 2008, only to meet in-person three years later.
The Internet have released two albums previously – 2011’s Purple Naked Ladies, and 2012’s Feel Good.
The Internet branched off from the Odd Future collective and started their own band in 2011. Sydney had been writing music since she was small; she put this on hold to become OF’s DJ and producer, and picked her songs back up in 2011 to make her first full-length album with Matt.
When they play live, The Internet is a band – a six-person outfit whose youngest member is 17. They began playing as a full-band in order to tour behind Feel Good, and the band members all contributed their talents to The Internet’s 2015 album EGO DEATH.
