Hyperbubble
Encyclopedia
Hyperbubble is an international visual and performing arts
electro pop/synthpop
duo from San Antonio
, Texas
formed by Jeff DeCuir and Jess Barnett DeCuir. The music of this American
group is variously described as "early Eurythmics
meets Josie and the Pussycats
," referencing "markers such as New Musik, the Normal
and Thomas Dolby
." Their songs are "catchy synth pop that mixes kitsch
, retrofuturism and pop art
in a chrome blender and sets the contents jiggling to a hypnotic robo-rhythm" with "lyrics that offer quirky takes on SF
tropes from cyborgs and clones to ray guns and erotic surveillance."
Jeff first performed together with Jess Barnett DeCuir in the experimental dark ambient group Crevice and later, the "bouncy AM retro-pop" Pink Filth, both recording primarily with Uncle Buzz Records. In the latter band, the duo played under the stage names, Nick Velvet and Baby Jessica, working lead vocals and keyboards
. The two married in 2000.
Both bands mixed art with music, foreshadowing the pair's efforts with Hyperbubble. Crevice collaborated with American visual artist and composer
Christian Marclay
on the premier of Marclay's now-annual touring exhibit, The Sounds of Christmas, in 1999. Pink Filth created music that was part of an installation by Jess as well as producing the CDs included with the comic books Warrior Nun Areala

.
Their performances contained a wry sci-fi element. The band was described as one "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 remix
version of the album soon followed. This tradition continued for future albums as well.
Hyperbubble realized regional success with a showcase band slot at the South by Southwest Music Festival
and their 2007 album, Airbrushed Alibis, named a best local album. The band was later voted Best Electronica Band in 2008 and runner-up Best Electronic Band in 2009 and Best Electronic Act in 2010 in the San Antonio Current
. They gained international recognition with recordings released by UK label Filthy Little Angels, which included Airbrushed Alibis. The "retro-techno-bubblegum pop" album continued their "cartoonish, Hanna-Barbera
view of the future, informed by 1960s visions of the 21st century as an era of flying cars and robotic romance." A 2008 dub
version of the album heavily remixed and slowed down the pace of the original tracks.
Huw Stephens
featured the Hyperbubble song "Supermarket Casanova" on his nationally syndicated BBC Radio 1
program in 2007. Their tour of the UK the next year led to them being signed by Glasgow
-based Bubblegum Records. Their first EP with the label featured a collaboration with Welsh
bubblegum pop
punk rocker Helen Love in which they covered her song, "Better Set Your Phasers to Stun", with an added vocal track provided by her. The release completed their transition to a truly international group.
Their next full-length CD, Candy Apple Daydreams, was described as a "cartoon automaton symphony" and a "pop opera… utilizing an amazing overture theme that weaves in and out of the entire album." The music "sounds something like Madonna would sound...if her music were geared more towards school kids." The effort hit several best-of lists, including popular Scot

, which also dubbed it "the best electronic album to come out of Texas since Asmodeus X
's Morningstar. The title track further made the English Electricity Club's top 30 songs of the year.
Releases in 2011 included their LP, Drastic Cinematic
with the German label, Pure Pop For Now People. Characterized as a soundtrack to an imaginary Jean Luc-Godard film, the album possesses a darker and more atmospheric mood than their previous efforts. Manda Rin of the Scottish band Bis
contributed guest vocals along with sampled sounds from her cat, Akiko. An extended CD/MP3

and is art department faculty at San Antonio College
and at the Southwest School of Art. Jeff who has a B.F.A.
also from the University of Texas San Antonio serves as an instructor at the International Academy of Design and Technology San Antonio
and designs show flyer and CD and album cover art. In keeping with their art background, the band debuted at the Cactus Bra Space in San Antonio's Blue Star Arts Complex on November 6, 2003 and continues to perform in art spaces. In 2007, the band played in support of an exhibit opening by new wave
musician/artist of Devo
, Mark Mothersbaugh
, entitled "Postcard Diaries."
The duo views the band as "a complete audio-visual package." The San Antonio Luminaria Festival invited Hyperbubble to perform as a multidisciplinary and visual artist. One year, they played at the festival inside a giant pink TV set dressed as superheroes. The San Antonio Current observed that the Hyperbubble aesthetic on stage and through their website "is defined by clean lines, lots of open space, primary colors, and a judicious under-use of words."
Hyperbubble has integrated their music into art and multimedia
installations by Jess and collaborated on a 2009 sound art project by regional artists Jen Khoshbin and Paul Lewis. The band itself has produced stand-alone visual art to accompany their music such as for the Sleeveface
photo exhibit and "Covers and Sleevefaces" release at Lieu Commun in Toulouse
, France
.
.
Hyperbubble also produced music for commercials and a podcast. In 2006, they supplied theme and incidental music for San Antonio-based Modsnap, a public-access television
cable TV show on fashion.
Both members occasionally record for the electronic
group Moonrox. Jeff also supplied the theme song for the webseries Nightlife the Series under the name "Macchio Man."

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" with "good humorous songs," the album showcased their ability to apply "the breakneck pace of punk… to straight-up synthpop," altogether self-described as "bionic bubblepunk."Their performances contained a wry sci-fi element. The band was described as one "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."
