Hyper Gal are a Japanese duo from Osaka who have brought us there vision of pure noise abuse with chanted vocals, apocalyptic drums and cheap nasty deranged synths as Koharu Ishida and Kurumi Kadoya make clear just what a twisted world they live in. Pure is the bands second album, this is it's first global release having only been available in Japan previously.
The album opens with Charm that opens all nice and pretty for about 10 seconds, before the corrupting techno blasts of noise laden beats allow the chanted lyrics to be laid on top like Chicks On Speed gone nosebleed, repetitive vocals and beats drive into the core of your brain, ready to decimate everything in their way.
Tropical takes an industrial strength classical sample, adds blast beats with waves of pain, as Koharu Ishida's repeating vocal line is battered into your mind, there is no let up.
Papapa seems to sample Metal Machine Music with kick the crap out of them drums destroying the feedback strewn noise, in time for more urgent chanting from Koharu, as she finds a way to make sense of what Kurumi Kadoya is doing with her synths and drums.
Domestic Utopia is over 7 minutes of hi-hat wrangling with noise invasions, if this is what Utopia sounds like, I would hate to hear what they think hell sounds like. Shotgun blasts of intensity, chanting through the ecstasy of bliss in immense noise eruptions.
Wedding Ring has an almost carousel like sample, that's mutated destroyed and disintegrated by the cacophony surrounding it, you dare not buy these Hyper Gal's the wrong ring.
Tenshi takes a toy synth line, some string samples and blast your ears to pieces percussive attack, that's not about eating at Tenshi in Islington, at least I hope it isn't, as if it was you'd be covered in vomit by the end of the meal, great globs of it, rather than wondering about mystical beings.
Bleach is a blast of noise for as long as it takes to put some Bleach round the toilet.
The album closes with Transparent New Living as your cooped up in a glass box apartment, arcade synth rampage round the room, thudding techno drums quake against the floor.
