Tokyo’s For Tracy Hyde may be gone, but they leave behind a decent enough trove of archival material for me to wade through beyond their final record Hotel Insomnia and it’s final wake.
I’ll start with this five-song live set they recorded in April 2020 for DKFM Radio’s (DecayFM) DreamGaze Worldwide, which I guess was an online festival where the acts recorded video sets? I feel a little ashamed that I had never heard of this event or even this station before, though I don’t listen to radio either terrestrial or online. But this seems up my alley, maybe I should rectify that.
Anyway, the set draws from 2019’s New Young City and 2021’s Ethernity and affirms that man, I would have loved to see them live. At least we have YouTube.
