Bleep

Hayden Dunham has skirted the edge of the music world since they exploded into it with the viral ‘Hey QT’ campaign in 2014. Seven years later, they resurfaced as Hyd, with a defiant debut that is as much effortless pop captivation as it is firmly on the fringes of it. Their silk voice saunters in on ‘No Shadow’; lyrics like “post me, post you” curiously pick apart the human condition, while glittering production burns at the edges. ‘Skin 2 Skin’ tiptoes initially, its leering whispers erupting into grand, angelic choruses. Intimately explosive, Hyd shows a pop mainstay in the making.
