FANTASTIC FREAKS!

In a moment of profound inspiration, a vivid vision of David Bowie sitting down with singer and multi-instrumentalist Dre 9:23 ignited the birth of Hyperreal—an audacious sonic venture that defies conventions and celebrates the power of vulnerability. Bursting onto the scene, Hyperreal takes listeners on a captivating musical journey where the realms of ElectroPop, Dream Synth Pop, and Deep South Gospel Choirs intertwine with an alluring touch of Prince's seductive charm. 

Drawing influence from iconic acts such as Empire of the Sun, Porter Robinson, Daft Punk, and M83, as well as the mesmerizing world of early to mid-1980s West Coast American TV and movie culture, Dre 9:23 infuses Hyperreal's sound with a kaleidoscope of nostalgia and futuristic vibes. Los Angeles serves as a boundless source of inspiration, fueling Dre 9:23's love affair with the vibrant city and permeating the music with undeniable energy. 

Within the tapestry of Hyperreal, introspection merges with empowerment, creating a sanctuary for the alienated, isolated, shy, unconfident, lonely, and bullied souls. It becomes an epic anthem, urging individuals to embrace their uniqueness and transform it into their greatest superpower. The heartfelt lyrics and powerful messages resonate deep within, encouraging listeners to break free from the futile pursuit of trying to fit in and instead embrace their true selves and dreams. 

Dre 9:23's resounding plea echoes through each song: "Stop abandoning yourself and your dreams—be who you want to be and take pride in your individuality. Life is too short to merely exist and settle for humdrum mediocrity.” 

Immerse yourself in the world of Hyperreal and join their ever-growing community of "Fantastic Freaks." This global movement thrives on inclusivity, celebrating the beauty of diversity and empowering individuals to stand tall and unapologetically showcase their true colors. 

As the anticipation builds, Hyperreal prepares to release their debut single, "Nightbus," on September 1st—a heart-on-sleeve, lyrically vulnerable anthem exploring the themes of alienation, loneliness, and the struggle to fit in at the end of a solitary night out alone, desperately seeking the path home.  

While assembling a dynamic live band, Dre 9:23 and Hyperreal are poised to captivate audiences with a series of extravagant and visually stunning performances in early 2024. Brace yourself for an immersive experience that transcends the ordinary and leaves an indelible mark on the senses.
