Night Wave is the second studio album by Los Angeles-based electrohop group Hyper Crush, released on the iTunes Store on February 7, 2012.[1] It was self-published by Night Wave Records after the group left its previous record label, Universal Motown, because it "really didn’t see eye to eye with them for a long time".[2] The album consists of eleven songs, four previously released as singles. Three were cowritten and coproduced, and eight written and produced by Hyper Crush.

Promotion

A trailer created by Cassidy Sanders for the album was released January 17, 2012 featuring "What Goes Up".[3] To generate hype and boost their pre-order numbers, free physical copies of the album were sent to fans who pre-ordered the album.[4] Another promotional giveaway occurred during their official album release party, which was held at The Roxy Theatre on February 3, 2012.[5] The CD was later available to buy on their website. They also released videos for "WTF", "Chead" and "Bad Boyz".
