Press release

Multidisciplinary artist Hyd (Hayden Dunham) announces new album, Hold onto Me Infinity, out May 22nd via Cascine. Zooming between the intimate and the infinite, the album is a powerful testament to music's ability to cross timelines, physical thresholds, and lifespans, while dancing in between this physical world, and the one beyond.

Opening track "Angel", produced by Hudson Mohawke, a chief collaborator on the album, the song written by Dunham and Benny Long, positions a loved one posthumously as a guardian angel, introducing a question that reverberates throughout the rest of the album: where do the dead go, and how do we experience them in new forms?

With Hold onto Me Infinity, there is a physicality reflected in the album's drum-forward sonic palette, where the vibrations are designed to be felt in the listeners' bodies as much as they are heard. The album cover, shot by Michael Bailey Gates, reflects this liminal blur between the existential and elemental. Made without artificial effects, it uses a glass sculpture made by Dunham, pyrotechnics, mirror reflections, and a sunset poking through a pierced window to create a portal within the image that holds both this physical reality and another world. This analog approach was a necessity that emerged out of Dunham's intermittent loss of vision over the past seven years, which made them extremely sensitive to artificial light. This condition continues to have profound impacts on their senses: when their sight receded, other (extra)-sensory skills emerged; when it returned, they felt extra-embodied in their body and the juiciness of being.

Hold onto Me Infinity is the follow up album to Hayden's celebrated debut, CLEARING. Informed by their wider artistic practice, Hyd's music is the result of interior research, community dialogues and material exploration creating an immense ecosystem. Dunham's work as a fine artist has been exhibited at museums including MoMA PS1, the New Museum, and their forthcoming show at Company Gallery in NY will be debuting April 30th.

"Make Me Believe" and "Makeover" finally being officially released!

Makeover release is something I never expected...

oh makeover the song that you are....

SAT

Makeover? Omg

Makeover my baby... it's finally your day to shine

Makeover and Make Me Believe are by far my favorite SOPHIE collabs with her so I am beyond pumped Unless they get the Sunscreen treatment (which I still don't hate, the demo is just clearly better)

Clearing was so good, can't wait for this project

That first listen of Makeover is going to be emotional. It's been fully fleshed out with some new lyrics, but I'm hoping she hasn't changed the production too much.

I need the Credits tbh

Hudson Mohawke executive produced the album

Benny Long is credited as a composer for Angel so I guess we really are getting the SOPHIE songs

WHAT MAKEOVER????????

Idt Freak has a thread yet but it's out in NZ & I'm seriously thinking it's the best HYD song to date & a strong contender for my fav song of the year so far. Incredible!

shes so futuristic

all three singles rock Watch You Cry reminds me of a Caroline Polachek song, it's gorgeous!

Makeover being the same as the leaked version thank you Hyd!!

Yeah Makeover was really well done, I like the demo of Make Me Believe more tho

it's so good, SOPHIE is all over it. made me so emotional...

can't wait for the LA show at The Echo on May 30th

this is incredibly beautiful, really emotional to finally have Makeover and Make Me Believe officially released. I felt really nostalgic listening to Make Me Believe and then Never Is Over came on and it made me cry

Angel kinda boring and a terrible first single choice, but i'm glad the rest of the album ended up being nothing short of excellent, as expected from her.

i too dislike angel and when i heard it was hudmo i was ????

on my initial listen i am disappointed to not see a. g. in the credits anywhere (or even nömak) however, on my first scan it seems fleshed out and i can't wait to dive into the intricacies later today

Not too much on Angel….

So there's this song of the year called Grounded

ddidn't know she had a bop this hard in her
