Internet Girl Says ‘YES’ With Debut Album
South African alt-rap trio Internet Girl have released their debut album, YES, via PACK. Records. Alongside the album, the group have shared a music video for its title track, “YES”.
Featuring Kenny Mason and Ledbyher, the ten-track project brings dance rhythms, vocal samples, and distorted electronic production into the trio’s rap and punk foundations. A coming-of-age record about ambition, self-belief, and sacrifice, YES captures the uncertainty and determination of becoming who you want to be.
Internet Girl introduced the album with “ALL THE SAME,” pairing a Spanish vocal sample with synth bass and live drums, followed by the guitar-driven “DA BUSINESS” featuring Kenny Mason, which earned a spot on Vince Staples’ 5 On Fridays playlist during its release week. Most recently, “HIGH AS HEAVEN” brought pulsing bass, sharp percussion, and abrupt beat cutouts into a track built for live call-and-response. Together, the singles trace the expanding sound of YES, where euphoric dance cuts sit alongside stripped-back rap production and walls of guitar inspired by shoegaze and nu metal.
The album began taking shape during a writing trip to South Africa’s Karoo in the first week of 2026. Ntsika “TK” Bungane, Matthew “Neese” Burgess, and James “Griggs” Smith arrived without a clear direction for their debut but found it on the first night, finishing nearly all of the title track in a single day. Its “yes” refrain began as an ad-lib before giving the album its name, while its lyrics established the questions running throughout the project: what it takes to change your life, what that pursuit costs, and how to keep going when you question why you started. Across the record, the trio explore the pressure, opportunism, doubt, and conviction that accompany those ambitions, ending with “BIG SAN TONY” featuring Ledbyher, a guitar-heavy closer that plays like the closing credits of their coming-of-age story.
The accompanying “YES” music video places the trio’s grungy aesthetic inside a surreal, all-white dystopian studio. Opening with a slow zoom toward TK as he stands still in a pensive moment, the visual then shifts into an urgent group performance that mirrors the track’s fusion of South African rap, punchy alt-rock drums, and electronic synth breaks. The transition from quiet reflection to restless energy brings the album’s ambitions into focus, introducing a group ready to step into the spotlight.
Leading up to the release, Internet Girl brought fans into the world of YES by turning a taxi van in Cape Town into a mobile listening party. The trio livestreamed themselves driving around the city, meeting up with fans and playing the album ahead of its release.
YES follows a year of international milestones for Internet Girl, including performances at Kiss Kiss Festival, where they co-headlined alongside Basement Jaxx, and Boiler Room Soweto, alongside the inclusion of “PULL UP” on the NBA 2K27 soundtrack. Now, the South African culture disruptors are bringing that momentum to their first-ever US shows. Their debut US headline tour, YES, opened at Elsewhere in New York on November 11, with upcoming dates in Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. European dates follow next month before wrapping up in Paris on December 11, where they’ll make their Nyokobop Festival debut. For more information and tickets, visit HERE.
