“Angel” WATCH: https://youtu.be/3CpdFyZ6lXg?si=ZKgQjegYGjPbJXlc LISTEN: hydmusic.lnk.to/angel
(March 11th, 2026) - Multidisciplinary artist Hyd (Hayden Dunham) announces new album Hold Onto Me Infinity due 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.
Alongside the announcement Hyd shares new single “Angel.” Produced by Hudson Mohawke, a chief collaborator on the album, the song written by Hayden 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? The video that accompanies the track is directed by Tourmaline, with creative direction by Bobbi Salvor Menuez, movement direction by Monica Mirabile, edited by Hedia Maron, and cinematography by Aimee Goguen.
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 and the New Museum and their forthcoming show at Company Gallery in NY will be debuting April 30th. |
