Genre: C-pop (pop from China)
Places I remember: Keegan sent me a copy of this as a present a couple of years ago.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Spring Breeze
Gear costume: Crashing Into Daylight
Active compensatory factors: Although the cover features only one person, Hiperson is a five-person band from Chengdu (China). Three men and two women make up the Hiperson band.

They play a blended mix of futuristic pop with vocals in Sichuanese (a branch of Mandarin). It's quite an exotic, hypnotising sound that I like a lot. Maybe, because Keegan chose it and sent it to me from China, it takes on a special significance for me, but so what.
It's quite tricky describing their sound, as it includes some traditional flute, some rock elements, some alt rock guitar, solo vocals, spoken word, some punkishness, and some ambient sounds as well. Often all that happens on one track!
Given that, the appeal is pretty obvious - and the vocals become part of the texture of the songs. Another thing I love in foreign language bands.
Where do they all belong? Always keen to explore more of C-pop.
