| | Hyperbubble Airbrushed Alibis CD Hyperbubble Discography of CDs
Having demonstrated on their debut that they know how to make peppy synth pop par excellence, Jessica and Jeff DeCuir keep at it with their second effort, a dozen delights as Dayglo-entertaining as the album artwork. Unlike so much of the almost too-apologetic neo-keyboard- new wave, Hyperbubble actually sound like they want to hit a dancefloor, and one overseen by the self-knowing wryness of Devo at that. So the opening "Synesthesia" is a full-on celebration of their artistic approach, detailing all the pieces of equipment needed to hit the beats and bleeps in traded-off then shared vocals, all with the kind of weird and wonderful nagging synth lines that make listeners of a certain age want to hit the arcade to play Pac-Man or Defender right this second. (The concluding unlisted "Bonus Track" does much the same thing with the very concept of such a song.) Jess' delivery is again a kind of witty ice-cool warm that could almost be a solo cyborg Shangri-Las, while the two create perfectly in sync arrangements of tense and brisk, such as "Hyperdome" and the slow-crawling ballad that's the title track. It's no surprise that Jeff in particular has such a sharp eye for sheer froth given his roots in an act like Pink Filth, and song titles like "Rollerboogie Babydoll" and the ultimate mouthful of "Non-Biodegradable Hazardous Waste Disposal" further demonstrate it. (Meanwhile there's even a subtle Queen nod in the title of "I'm in Love with My Clone.") Perhaps the cherry on the sundae is a classic disaffected anthem of youth, "Indoor Kidz," simultaneously a tribute to any number of generations chilling in front of some sort of screen (the music may be early '80s, but the mentions of laptops are newer and the quote from the Who rather earlier) and straight-up herky-jerky dance delight. ~ Ned Raggett Great news! 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 follow up to the duo's 2004 debut, "Airbrushed Alibis" will transport your mind 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!__Having demonstrated on their debut that they know how to make peppy synth pop par excellence, Jess and Jeff DeCuir keep at it with their second effort, a dozen delights as dayglo-entertaining as the album artwork.

It is wanting to say something and not being able to confront the truth or reality of the right thing to say. It is those hesitant first steps of a grand undertaking. It is the self-titled debut from the experimental local Hip hop duo, The Find, and it is all about the art, the hustle, the humor, and the triumph of being human. Wordsmith, Lucky Manuelo and sonic landscape artist, DinoJack Crispy present an album that is lyrically heavy enough to challenge but aurally light enough to inspire. This isn't Hip hop for the dancehall or the Jeep trunk. Casual listeners will find the album difficult to settle ...

Airbrushed Alibis music CDs
$5.39 Please Clap Your Hands arrives just nine months after the duo's full-length debut, but the Bird and the Bee have already widened their aviary considerably. Taking a cue from "F*cking Boyfriend," whose breezily crisp rhythms sat atop the Billboard Club Play charts for weeks in 2006, Hands quickens the pace by adding more dance textures to Greg Kurstin's lush studio creations. "So You Say" swirls with garage rock-psychedelia, its summery riff pumped by a Farfisa organ, while "Man" mixes spacy sound effects with some of Kurstin's most involved percussion to date. Throughout it all, vocalist Inara George remains calm and collected, willing to incite her listeners to dance but reluctant to join in the fun herself. This proves to be an interesting dichotomy; while Kurstin plays the bee and buzzes around the studio, George assumes a songbird's stance from an elevated, disengaged perch, her honeyed melodies driving the bee into fits of instrumental frenzy. She can sing, undoubtedly, and she does so with the cool, measured sass of ...
