HYPER GAL – Announce ‘After Image’ LP Coming Out This September via SKiN GRAFT Records

Following the worldwide release of ‘Pure’, Osaka-based noise-pop duo is happy to present their newest album; announce UK/EU tour-dates.

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.

Tracklist:

1. The luncheon on The Grass
2. RUSH
3. OVER FUSSY
4. dot dot dot
5. unrhymed
6. ATTRIBUTE
7. FLICKER
8. GHOST
9. OOPARTS

“After Image” will be released as a Limited Edition LP pressed on crystal clear GHOST colored vinyl and will include a double-sided, full color Poster, a wrap-around “Footlong OBI” and come packaged in a resealable polybag. The deluxe glass-mastered Compact Disc will be packed in a six-panel Trifold jacket and will include a photo spread insert, a wrap-around OBI and a mystery matrix message.

“After Image” will be released on September 13th, 2024 via SKiN GRAFT Records. Pre-order the LP via Bandcamp here. The record release show will take place at Bears in Osaka on September 14th and the band will be touring Europe in support of “After Image” this October and November.
