Hyperbubble

The band started as a creation of Jeff. Hyperbubble first appeared as the attributed author of a track on the 1997 album ''Acid Ranch 2000''. Several years later, Jess joined him after the dissolution of Pink Filth to re-launch the concept band. In 2004, Hyperbubble debuted their first album, ''Sol!d Pop''. Described as "peppy synth pop par excellence," the album showcased their ability to apply "the breakneck pace of punk… to straight-up synthpop." Their music contained a wry sci-fi element, the duo labeling it "bionic bubblepunk." Hyperbubble was described as a band "in the proud tradition... of musicians pretending to be robots," but "taking the android artifice to intentionally over-the-top extremes, then undercutting all the sci-fi hokum with flashes of genuine humanity." ''Sol!d Pop'' also displayed their persistent use of sampling; the band's most popular downloaded song, "Leon", even featured sounds from their cat. With their penchant for mixing, a
