Fueled by compelling lyrics, dynamic arrangements and soaring, melodic vocals, Hypnogaja's sound has been described by Outburn magazine as "enthralling, first-rate modern rock," Apple.com as "soulful rock with a subtle electronic backdrop" and the Denver Post as music that "pushes boundaries."
The Los Angeles-based band tours the U.S. consistently and has shared stages with artists such as 311, Cold, Bobaflex, and Shinedown, among others, and their music has been featured in numerous hit TV shows and feature films, including NBC's Las Vegas, CW's America's Next Top Model, FX's Dirt, Touchstone's Cold Creek Manor, and many more.
Below Sunset, Hypnogaja's latest studio recording, ranges in style from bracing rock to quiet piano ballads with a thread of symphonic elements and atmospheric electronics inherent throughout. The album includes the tracks "They Don't Care" (video featured on MTVU and MTV2's On Demand), "Looking Glass" (featured on the compilation CD, Saturday Night Loud!, Vol. 3), and a remake of Eurythmics' classic, "Here Comes The Rain Again."

Description: Hypnogaja's brand of contemporary rock is driven by melodic, sophisticated songs that cater to no trend.
