Hyetal is the alias of London based electronic musician/ producer David Corney. The project started after a move to Bristol from Southampton in 2003. At first affiliated with the city's post dubstep and techno scenes, Hyetal released several acclaimed 12-inch singles before moving towards the album format with his debut Broadcast in 2011 on Black Acre. After incorporating influences from ambient, dream pop and new wave rock, Hyetal found longer form releases a natural fit. Broadcast was followed by Modern Worship on True Panther in 2013 and then Youth and Power on Other/other in 2017, the first to feature his vocals.

On this EP, States, Hyetal explores the intersection between hard dance music and shoegaze. Threads of dream pop, new wave, and ambient are paired with influences from early Bonzai and CJ Bolland releases to create an idiosyncratic body of work performed and recordedwith 90s sound modules and synthesizers.The result is a collection of songs reflecting a blurred cycling through the emotions of nostalgia, melancholy, and optimism, and that sit somewhere on the spectrum between Electronic, Slowdive, Curve, and the Reactivate and React Test compilations.
