Holydrug Couple
Hyper Super Mega (red)
If 'Hyper Super Mega' feels like a classic pop record, that's because Ives Sepúlveda Minho and Manuel Parra spent much of the recording process thinking about the classic pop records of the '60s and '70s. Masterpieces by bands like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Fleetwood Mac were all reference points, not always explicitly in sound, but certainly in spirit. The duo approached the mythos of the "classic album" from their own inimitable psych-pop perspective, hoping to make a record that felt authentically like The Holydrug Couple that could fit into the same canon. By that criterion, 'Hyper Super Mega' is a massive success. All the elements that made the band's previous albums 'Noctuary' and 'Moonlust' great are distilled to their purest essence and rendered in obsessive detail. Red vinyl version, limited to 1000 copies.
