Hayden breaks his three-year silence with Skyscraper National Park, the welcome return from his self-imposed exile. Critically acclaimed yet commercially overlooked, Hayden’s path is as storied as it is unconventional. His previous albums, Everything I Long For and The Closer I Get garnered him "vital" status by the tastemakers at Spin and his contribution of the title track to Steve Buscemi’s Trees Lounge cemented his cult following.
Skyscraper National Park occupies a diverse landscape: raw and bleak; yet warm and bright at once. From a high falsetto to a low growl, from a distant piano and thin guitar to lush strings and horns, Hayden traverses the span of wide-open spaces to solitary introspection. There is heartbreak and there is comfort. There is light and there is shadow. The misconceptions of a soul that is troubled and moody are dispelled by Hayden’s light touch and easy sense of humor.
