Hyperdawn

Live tonite present Hyperdawn debut in Belfast, the experimental pop duo from North Manchester.  Following the release of their debut album Bleach in 2019 they have built a reputation for their distinct, hands-on approach to music making, using live reel-to-reel tape processing, electronics and vocals. Often associated with Manchester's The White Hotel, their recent shows have seen them alongside the likes of Space Afrika, Tara Clerkin Trio, Ssaliva and feeo.  Hyperdawn's second album Steady received extensive national press attention including in The Quietus, Electronic Sound, Clash Mag and Crack Magazine. Regularly aired on BBC 6 Music, including performing a live session, Steady was named in numerous Best Albums of the Year lists (The Quietus, Boomkat). The album has gained the attention of industry figures and prominent musicians, which for example saw Hyperdawn on a US West Coast tour in Aug 2024 supporting Amen Dunes. Hyperdawn is Vitalija Glovackyte and Michael Cutting, two composers/producers making diverse work from semi-improvised live sets to orchestral commissions from the likes of the London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Ensemble Intercontemporain and Apartment House. Individually their work has been performed in venues from the Royal Festival Hall and Cafe Oto in London to National Sawdust (New York), and festivals around Europe and North America such as Spor Festival (Copenhagen), Darmstädter Ferienkurse (Darmstadt) and HCMF (Huddersfield). "Very few bands actually reimagine pop. Hyperdawn, however, are entitled to make such a lofty claim.” The Quietus “We’re as likely to hear pulverized ambience as we are rain-soaked pop, and in that way the album’s closest relative might be Mica Levi, who manages to balance on the same precarious tightrope. […] Very strong essential gear, one of the year’s best late night, bleary-eyed pop albums”  Boomkat "It’s not easy to put your finger on what Hyperdawn do, but whatever it is, they’re doing it now better than ever.” Electronic Sound (full-length feature) “Steady’ continues their rise, expanding Hyperdawn’s sounds while remaining tethered to their roots. Fragmentary electronics infused with bass weight.” Clash Mag “Everything here is blurry and beautifully, tantalisingly out of reach. More please.” Electronic Sound “The album reads like a weary, extended night bus journey - plenty of time to think, fret, and ultimately heal.” Juno Records YOUTUBE Maybe - www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6c992SMunM Basic - www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dQOXRrik3Q Insta - www.instagram.com/hyperdawn_ Bandcamp - www.hyperdawn.bandcamp.com +18 show.
