Our new album Transmission has been out for a little over a month now, and lots of people have already enjoyed (well, listened to or bought) the tracks from Bandcamp.
A lot of people seem to think the album only has one track on it, which is a bit of a shame, and quite a good reason for us to get on with our next single, which we're intending to unleash next month even though we haven't entirely decided which track it's going to be.
Anyway, in the meantime, why don't you take a listen? I've put a list of all the tracks there so that you can listen to more than one of them.
Hypernova are a synthpop duo from the UK, and here are some things which they have said:

Transmission - sleeve notes
<Transmission Starts>
Hello you.
Somehow, <Dusk> was a very appropriate title for our last album. We seemed to get caught up in the throes of midwinter, and managed to leave off most of the pop. But that was nearly five years ago, so what have we been doing in the meantime? Have we dragged ourselves out of our autumnal gloom?
Well, yes. You see, things were different then.
In fact, the story of this album begins way back in 2003. It was late summer, and we were sat in Simon's flat in Birmingham. He picked up a guitar, and together we wrote Golden Wheel in a matter of hours, before largely forgetting about it. A little over seven years later I would receive Almost in my inbox, and suddenly all the murky recordings which we had been tweaking for years seemed to form into an album.
Such a long period of development may not have helped the quality of this album much, but a lot has happened in the last five years. In addition to Birmingham, it has its roots in Derbyshire, Berlin, West Yorkshire, Hampshire and Los Angeles. It follows a very long and wiggly path from naïvety to world weariness, and it takes its influence from an extremely wide and esoteric range of sources.
So where does this get us in the end? Have we learnt the harsh lessons which the past forced upon us?
Well, maybe. Almost.
<Transmission Ends>

A Transmission about transmission
Our album has already been available for a couple of weeks, via our Bandcamp page, and has already received lots of glowing praise, such as:
- "twelve fresh tracks for a fiver is value"
- "will have a look tomorrow and let you know what i think"
- "Oh"
- "the singer's voice is rather monotonous"
