"Hyperreal" is a song by Australian musician Flume. It features vocals from Kučka. It was released on 5 May 2017.[3] The song is included on the vinyl release of Skin Companion EP 2 (2017).

It marks the third collaboration between Flume and Kučka, following "Smoke & Retribution" and "Numb & Getting Colder", on Skin.[4]

Reception[edit]

A Triple J reviewer said "It's a thumping, glitchy club track packed with bass and off kilter syncopation. Flume has woven explosions, claps, distortion and kick drums together with Kučka's soprano to create an unnerving, deep dark beast."[4]
