Selfish Cunt

**Selfish Cunt** was a provocative British electronic duo formed in the early 2000s by Mat Dryhurst and Jennifer Evans, known for their confrontational style and experimental noise-punk sound. Active during the mid-2000s underground scene, they blended abrasive electronics, raw vocals, and subversive themes, earning a cult following for their unapologetic, politically charged performances. Their work often critiqued societal norms, with a DIY ethos that matched their shock-value moniker. Releases like *DEMO'S 2003-2007* and *Batty Boy* showcased their chaotic, genre-defying energy, while projects like *English Chamber Music* leaned into bleak, satirical commentary on British culture.

Associated with the Angular Records circle (home to acts like The Libertines), Selfish Cunt’s output—including *No Wicked Heart Shall Prosper*—remained fiercely independent before the duo dissolved. Dryhurst later pursued collaborations in art and music (notably with Holly Herndon), while Evans continued solo experimental work. Their legacy lingers as a brash, short-lived project that weaponized noise and irony to unsettle audiences.
