Hyd is Hayden Dunham, a New York-based multi-disciplinary artist and former PC Music affiliate. Back in 2014, Hyd co-created QT the PC Music future-pop avatar who release “Hey QT.” In 2022, Hyd released her solo debut CLEARING, which included collaborations with people like Caroline Polachek. Now, Hyd is coming back with a new album called Hold Onto Me Infinity.
Hyd recorded Hold Onto Me Infinity mostly while doing research in Iceland, and the records reflects two huge recent losses in her life — that of her partner SOPHIE, who passed away suddenly in 2021, and of her brother, who was killed in a 2024 hit-and-run. The album gets its title from opening track and lead single “Angel,” a shimmering ode to SOPHIE.
On “Angel,” Hyd sings about the first time that her dad met SOPHIE, and she sings about SOPHIE becoming a kind of spiritual guardian. It’s heavy stuff, but the bright, pounding dance-pop track seems built for partying. Hyd recorded it with producer Hudson Mohawke, who did a lot of work on Hold Onto Me Infinity. Below, check out the “Angel” video and the tracklist.
