After Image Music CD

Springing from Osaka, Japanƒ??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 ƒ??After Imageƒ?� 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. ƒ??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 hypnoticƒ?� - THE WIRE ƒ??Blends elements of noise, no wave, pop and blistering punk to create something remarkable and newƒ?? Endlessly inventive and challengingƒ?� - MAXIMUMROCKNROLL ƒ??These royalty of no-wave-pop don't blink and their delivery is absolute. An exhilarating, total experienceƒ?� - NOISE-FI "Indescribable, just listen to it for yourself. And don't take any stimulants beforehand, you could end up in the emergency room" ƒ?? OX FANZINE ƒ??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 worldƒ?� ƒ?? SODA POP ƒ??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 joyousƒ?� - THE ORGAN 1.
