About IMMATERIAL!  

IMMATERIAL! music feels like debriefing a night out with your two messiest gay friends. Made up of longtime friends Abby (they/them) and Camille (they/she), this emerging queer Brooklyn popstar duo proudly writes and self-produces their music, which they also record for free at the New York Public Library’s Studio40! IMMATERIAL!’s unique experimental dance pop sound is shaped by childhoods spent worshipping fierce pop icons (and googling ‘am i gay quiz’) at the family computer, followed by young adulthoods worshipping electronic legends at the club. The duo’s name is an homage to SOPHIE, whose bold, avant-garde production blurred the line between the “real” and the “produced,” embodying the very queer/trans idea that nothing is more authentic than what we create and how we define ourselves—themes echoed in the lyrics of her perfect pop song “Immaterial.”

Extended Bio 

IMMATERIAL! is made up of Abby (they/them) and Camille (they/she), two mid-20s queer artists living in Brooklyn. Their name is an homage to the late music producer SOPHIE, whose artistry has been formative to their development as artists and people. Her bold, avant-garde production blurred the line between the “real” and the “produced,” embodying the very queer/trans idea that nothing is more authentic than what we create and how we define ourselves—themes echoed in the lyrics of her perfect pop song “Immaterial.”

Abby and Camille are self-taught producers who have been friends for nearly a decade. They do it all themselves: songwriting, composing, sound engineering, music and vocal production, mixing, mastering, promotion, and yes, living the drama that inspires the songs. They record all their songs at the New York Public Library’s free professional recording studio, Studio40. 

Most recently, IMMATERIAL! announced their sophomore EP being/feeling, a 9-track non-stop project they describe "dissociative dance music." The EP tracks themes of self, family, identity, sex, trauma, and relationships, all through the course of a night out at the club. This is their most ambitious project yet, dipping into new genres of disco, house, synth pop, techno, and electronic dance music.
