For Tracy Hyde “Ethernity” CD
For Tracy Hyde releases his masterpiece, "Ethernity," which surpasses his previous three works! From the Japanese concepts of "city," "transience," and "youth," to express "America" as a symbol of pop culture, This ambitious work is more melodic, emotional, and pop!
For Tracy Hyde's first new album in a year is based on the concept of "America," a departure from the previous three albums that delicately depicted Japanese scenes! The triple guitar sound established in the previous album "New Young City" While inheriting the dynamic shoegaze/dream pop sound of by, the album also introduces elements of 90's US alternative such as emo, grunge and slowcore. The result is an emotional work with a clearer contrast between motion and stillness!

The title "Ethernity" is a combination of the adjective ethereal, which expresses thinness, transience, and otherworldliness, and eternity, which means eternity, and represents a reality that is seamlessly linked to youth and sex, drugs, and crime, which is also fiction. This represents the essence of this work, which finds eternity in the elusive, impermanent image of America.
