Description
'There's something almost vapor-wave-adjacent about the glorious racket riled up by this pair. The effect of repetition throughout, the way the beat slips in and out of time, is hypnotic' - THE WIRE
Springing from Osaka, Japan's cultural center and historical heart, comes HYPER GAL, a two-piece band consisting of visual artist Koharu Ishida on vocals and noise artist Kurumi Kadoya on drums.
The minimalist duo make maximum impact - stripping music down beyond the bare essentials, to create shimmering, no wave pop from blast beat drums, glittery keyboard loops and ethereal bubblegum vocals - laced with velvet and firecrackers.
On 'After Image' HYPER GAL hold fast to their limited palette, but expand their reach. Working with a canvas larger than ever before, the band fearlessly alternate bold, avant-garde strokes with intimate, deliberate gestures. The result is a new world awash in a sea of endless possibilities - only visible with closed eyes and open ears.
'Blends elements of noise, no wave, pop and blistering punk to create something remarkable and new… Endlessly inventive and challenging' - MAXIMUMROCKNROLL
'These royalty of no-wave-pop don't blink and their delivery is absolute. An exhilarating, total experience' - NOISE-FI
'Indescribable, just listen to it for yourself. And don't take any stimulants beforehand, you could end up in the emergency room' – OX FANZINE
'It looks like noise, but there is too much color. Pop, but unsellable. Their music goes beyond barriers, genres and boundaries, as if a virus had been injected into a video game bringing delirious ruin to a perfect world' – SODA POP
'Beautifully crafted, deviant and ideal for those who love off-road adventures...' - MUZZART
'Intensely good. A beautiful challenge, a noise, relentless, not an onslaught, always inviting, like they want to pull you in rather than chase you away. Actually, this is joyous' - THE ORGAN
