Yellow Vinyl, Includes Collectible Double-Side "Footlong" OBI. Hyper Gal are restless. Since 2019, Kansai's minimalist duo has been in persistent, perpetual motion. In January of 2024, SKiN GRAFT Records introduced Hyper Gal to western audiences, giving the previously self-released album "Pure" a worldwide release. It was followed by "After Image"; a new full-length record; in September of that same year. In short order Hyper Gal left Japan to embark on a month-long European tour, performing at festivals such as Left of the Dial in Rotterdam and Le Guess Who? in Utrecht. Consisting of Koharu Ishida (vocals) and Kurumi Kadoya (drums), Hyper Gal craft a sound all their own, characterized by avant-garde rhythms, looping landscapes, and hypnotic vocals. Their music resists traditional genre boundaries to carve out a truly singular sonic space.With their fourth album "Our Hyper", Hyper Gal thrust their sound into a deeper, harder core. Songs unfold into surprising shapes, embracing shadowy turns emboldened by a heavier low-end, while unearthing sharp takes on Japan's harsh noise roots. The drums have grown even more acrobatic and unorthodox, while the vocals take on new colors, shifting from mesmerizing repetition to melodic, pop-tinged expression.The album's artwork is no less adventurous and features masks created by contemporary artist Tokiyoshi Akina and photographed in the band's own hands, signaling resistance to the performative dualities of social media and a commitment to authenticity.Despite the lean, unadorned two-piece setup, Hyper Gal's music attains an intense and unmistakable presence - an unwavering momentum driven by an unrelenting intent. "Our Hyper" is Hyper Gal amplified."With each release they appear as mirage sculptors, using simple tools (drums, keyboards, vocals) in craft of multi-genre spanning work which only becomes more captivating the simpler their execution becomes..." - MYSTIFICATION
