Hypnogaja operates in the space where intensity and melody intersect, built around emotionally direct songwriting and the commanding presence of lead singer ShyBoy. Never tied to a single scene or era, the band has evolved through recorded releases, live performance, and sustained work across film and television, shaping a sound that balances accessibility with edge.
My Dreams Have Teeth, the band’s first full-length album in over a decade, is a sharp statement layered with electronic texture and rhythmic detail. Tracks such as “Open/Wide,” “Escalate,” and “Pictures of a Perfect You” pair immediacy with controlled intensity, while “Is It a Crime?”, a reinterpretation of the Sade classic, highlights Hypnogaja’s ability to reshape familiar material without losing its core identity. That same instinct has long shaped the band’s broader catalog. Their cover of Eurythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again” has quietly accumulated millions of streams, continuing to find new listeners years after its release and taking on a life beyond its original context.
The album reflects the depth of experience behind it. ShyBoy and keyboardist Nubar have composed original music for film and television, including the feature film Dust Bunny, directed by Bryan Fuller, and the Emmy-nominated Queer For Fear docuseries. Guitarist Jeeve, a Grammy-winning producer and musician, brings experience shaped by collaborations with Giorgio Moroder, Britney Spears, and Santana. Together, those backgrounds converge in a sound that feels precise, deliberate, and fully formed.
