INDIEMP3 REVIEW OF BETTER SET YOUR PHASERS TO STUN





Hyperbubble
Better Set Your Phasers to Stun
Bubblegum Records



Hyperbubble are a duo consisting of Mr & Mrs DeCuir once of Pink Filth. They have been around for a couple of years now although Phasers On Stun (trekkies?) is the first chance I have had to hear them. They make pure synth pop and my first thought when I heard the lyrics is how similar it was to Helen Love only for the aforementioned to chip in with some vocals half way through.

There are two further remixes but the opening single mix is the one that gets the thumbs up from me. As it’s a maxi single, it comes with two further tracks. Beach Party UFO is vinatge 1980’s synth pop whilst Disgow Glasgow moves the sound on a decade being of a rave/indie dance persuasion. It’s retro fun and bouncy throwaway pop music to the boot.
