HYPER OPAL follow up with a rousing single on Blizzard Audio Club entitled ‘A Light Speed’ off their forthcoming album.
HYPER OPAL is a multinational post-rock, electronica pop-hybrid comprised of Marie Hoffmann (V4NT4BL4CK) and Tidiane Cacique (Leave Things) who are the co-creators of Nordpath Records. Combining the unique elements of their native lands (Germany and France), the duo's sound is focused on the remains of humanity as seen through a technological line of sight, that is in part fueled by the progressive environment of Berlin. The moody vocals of Marie Hoffmann come to the listener as if her spirit were trapped inside the water, her soul wandering the woodlands. This combined with the passionate, sometimes rebellious, haunted rhythms of Tidiane creates a style of music some refer to as empathy driven "Tech Noir”. The duo deliver their debut album on the new Swiss imprint Blizzard Audio Club this September following on from releases from Pavel and E&A Rüeger,
‘A Light Speed’ is a deeply emotive cut featuring brooding vocals and rousing pads that shine underneath all in harmony with shoegaze laced atmospheres and hypnotic melodies fluttering throughout.
“We started to create this song in summer 2018, which was the first remarkable hot and dry summer. For months there had been no rain and everyone who does not live too much in the city bubble knew the price of this dryness will be paid by the flora and fauna for long-term. Gras, bushes, young trees with insufficiently deep roots were suffering and died. The thistles I walk on represent this dryness and pain, and the sentimentality when remembering the former green meadow. In early autumn we went to Dordogne (countryside in France) where you could get a real impression of what is going on in the nature. Dried out rivers and meadows, yellow was the new green. Not one year later Friday for Future was called out and more protests than ever opened up. We know that we caused this extreme climate, but in the moment it arrives, we are defenseless and delivered. I shot there a series of overexposed pictures. So, the only thing I could do was to document the horror and try to calm down.” - HYPER OPAL
