Now 2 albums from Hyperbubble. First is their new cheeky cheesy pop electro monster called "Airbrushed Alibis". Synth swirls and squelchy eletronica dance like a monkey on Prozac behind dead pan and processed female vocals. Like a big processed cheese sandwich on starched white bread.Their debut album "Sol!d Pop" on Socket Sounds which is an electro Stereolab or even Printed Circuit. Makes me want to say "We are made of metal we are from the 1980's"They’ve shared the spotlight with Lederhosen Lucil, Freezepop and Mark Mothersbaugh...their remixes span the globe... their first album, “Solid Pop” was an underground smash...and now, great news, earthlings! HYPERBUBBLE are back with twelve more blasts from their pink & blue pop gun! On their latest release, "Airbrushed Alibis", futurewave action figures Jess & Jeff deliver all new tales of supermodels, cyborgs, and sexy surveillance.
Hyperbubble fill their musical test tube with a mixture of both influence and invention. Jess has a voice reminiscent of Blondie,Ladytron, and Young Marble Giants, while Jeff's bouncy synth riffs will appeal to fans of Yello, Devo, and Giorgio. Imagewise,the pair bare a strong resemblance to Hasbro cartoon rockers Jem & The Holograms, as well as another synth-weilding duo from the 70's: The Captain & Tennille.
Yet, while there is the occasional nod to the past, Hyperbubble reject the term "retro", utilizing their stacks of synthesizers and sequencers to give "Airbrushed Alibis" a fresh, 21st Century sound. Digital samples are also employed, ranging from electronic bird feeders, to microwave ovens, to Jeff's favorite percussive device, his Bee Gees lunchbox.
The harder, faster, and fuller-sounding followup to the duo's 2004 debut, "Airbrushed Alibis" will transport your mind to new worlds: Take a trip to the dark side of the bubble on “Non-Biodegradable Hazardous Waste Disposal“ ( with guest vocalists from GirlsRiseWihHeat, Polarized Mind, Femme Fatality, Mission Giant, and Moog Mafia ), journey to the center of your spine with "Nervous System", then peek into the future with "I'm in Love with My Clone". Each new song is an invitation to switch on, plug in, and pop out!
