Synopsis
Product DescriptionThey ve shared the spotlight with Lederhosen Lucil, Joy Elecctric, 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!

A DAY GLOW BLAST OF FUTURISTIC FUN Cynthia Pop | Houston, Texas, USA | 02/06/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "With their debut, Solid Pop, Hyperbubble made a name for themselves by taking electronic pop outside the box, mixing it up with bubblegum punk, and blasting it into the 21st Century. The duo's second full-length album, Airbrushed Alibis, takes the Hyperbubble sound a few light years further, with bigger production ( I said "bigger", not "more commercial") , and a wider variety of musical shapes and styles: The cyberpunk is punkier, the technopop is poppier, and Hyperbubble's day-glow vision of the future is further explored with songs about cloning, electronic surveillance, and space-age love.
"Synesthesia", "Indoor Kidz" and "Teen Dream" are picture-perfect synthpop tracks. "Rollerboogie Babydoll" is high-powered electrodisco. "Polyurethane", "Hyperdome", and "I'm In Love With My Clone" could easily fit into the soundtracks for LOGAN'S RUN or THE WARRIORS. But what really sets Airbrushed Alibis ahead of the pack is the hard-rocking title track, the even harder-hitting, "Nervous System", and the toxic anthem "Non-Biodegradable Hazardous Waste Disposal", which features cameo appearances from synthy celebrities Mission Giant, GirlsRiseWithHeat, and Femme Fatality.
In other words, Hyperbubble have done it again. If you liked Solid Pop, you will LOVE Airbrushed Alibis. But be warned: This stuff is highly addictive. I can't stop playing it!!!" Hyperbubble does it again! John Stockton | Chicago, IL, USA | 03/15/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I loved Solid Pop, and was wet with anticipation for this little gem to be released. Airbrushed Alibis, is fun of poppy synth goodness, perfect for an Indie dance party. My favorite track is "Rollerboogie Babydoll," although it's pretty cool that "Non-Biodegradable Hazardous Waste Disposal", features a guy from the band Femme Fatality and a bunch of others too!
If you live in a city that Hyperbubble is visiting soon, don't miss them!!
