12" version. Color vinyl. Internationally acclaimed interdisciplinary artist Hyd, nee Hayden Dunham, announces her first solo musical project, along with the announcement of her self-titled EP via PC Music. More disclosure than debut, Hyd's four-track offering lets us feel the heat that's been building underneath, calling you back down to earth. Written on an island formed from underground volcanic eruptions 15 million years ago, the EP is produced by A. G. Cook, Caroline Polachek, and umru. The EP follows Hyd's robust career as a sculptor and conceptual artist. Deeply enmeshed in the art world and music communities, she has dedicated her practice to reinventing systems -- systems of communicating, systems of sexuality, systems of interacting with our environments. Her large-scale sculptural practice, where she creates fluid, transformative art installations, has been exhibited in museums and galleries across America, Asia and Europe. Apart from appearances on A. G. Cook's recent Apple LP, "No Shadow" marks the first time Hayden has stepped out musically since Hey QT, the enigmatic and controversial project she created in collaboration with A. G. Cook and SOPHIE.
