About

HYPER GAL is a two-piece band from Osaka, Japan’s cultural centre and historical heart. Consisting of visual artist Kohura 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 blastbeat drums, glittery keyboard loops and ethereal bubblegum vocals – laced with velvet and firecrackers.

HYPER GAL is at work on their third album. In the lead-up to its release, SKiN GRAFT will indoctrinate first-time listeners by making the band’s revolutionary second album ‘Pure’ available outside of Japan.
