{rjp HypnogajaINTRO.cmyk.jpg|left}Their track, "Looking Glass" is currently featured on our Saturday Night Loud! Vol. 3 CD and now you can listen to a bonus, exclusive track by rock outfit Hypnogaja. "Perfect Existence" will appear on Hypnogaja's 2008 studio album but for now you can only hear it here!
Listen to our exclusive Hypnogaja track, "Perfect Existence":




Formed in 1999 by vocalist Jason Arnold (ShyBoy) and pianist Mark Nubar Donikian as a studio project that merged Arnold’s electronica/metal influences with Nubar’s pop friendly piano style, today Hypnogaja is a rock outfit amassing fans across the country due to their unique and diverse sound. Their new album, Below Sunset, is adrenaline rock with a soft side. The pop hooks and electronic flourishes add depth to a grunge palette, which dives into themes of alienation and political discontent.



Was there a conceptual theme to Below Sunset?


Mark: In a way it’s become a concept album because the listener goes on a journey from start to finish. Even the title Below Sunset refers to a couple different things. Almost like being “below sunset” in darkness, and also “below sunset” as in Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles: the above Sunset “bling bling” where everyone’s super rich and then all the rest of us in the trenches, below Sunset. Ironically, I live above Sunset, but not in a very good neighborhood, like in a matter of inches.



Press Info

"Enthralling, first-rate modern rock." -OUTBURN

"Great energy, depth and talent." -BEHIND THE BEAT

"Pushes boundaries." -DENVER POST

Hypnogaja's commitment to making honest, lasting music is evident in its rich history and constant evolution. Fueled by lyrically compelling songs, dynamic arrangements and soaring, melodic vocals, the Los Angeles based quintet has toured the U.S. extensively, sharing stages with the likes of 311, Shinedown and Cold, among others. Their music has been featured in hit films and TV shows such as NBC's Las Vegas, FX's Dirt, CW's America's Next Top Model and many more. Below Sunset, the band's latest studio album ranges in style from bracing rock to quiet piano ballads with a thread of symphonic elements and atmospheric electronics inherent throughout.
