Digital agency 4REAL has developed an interactive multimedia experience for Teengirl Fantasy’s new EP, THERMAL. Using WebGL technology, 4REAL created 4 virtual worlds to accompany the 4 songs on the EP – Cavescape, Lung feat. Lafawndah, 7:30 A.M, and U touch me feat. Hoody (후디)

As technologies like WebGL and Web Audio become more ubiquitous, we don’t have to experience the internet as though we are standing in front of a wall. There is an opportunity to re-envision the web as a rich dynamic responsive world.
4REAL creates video-game-like worlds that reference pop culture artifacts such as Dan Flavin’s neons or a scene from Lost Highway .
Unlike the fixed trajectory of most video games, users are invited to freely explore and study the environments without being locked into any particular goal or agenda.
Thermal is out now on Break World Records! Tracing threads from their previous deconstructed dancefloor works into thrilling new directions, the Thermal EP is Teengirl Fantasy’s most mature and cohesive work to date. It features four new songs: two instrumentals that showcase the duo’s sensual and intuitive way with texture, and two primetime vocal tracks featuring the new queen of underground Korean R&B, Hoody (후디), and rising NYC recording artist Lafawndah.
