Hyet “Concrete Moon”

Written during a depressive period in the middle of the pandemic, “Concrete Moon” is about confronting toxicity and facing your true north.
Inspired by a terrible real-life situation where the voices from your loved ones become the most hurtful weapons that doubt your ability, Mark Estephan channeled his raw emotions into “Concrete Moon.”
Hyet is a solo rock project by multi-instrumentalist Mark Estephan. He draws influences from Devin Townsend, My Bloody Valentine, Prince, My Chemical Romance, and Tycho. The instruments in the track are recorded in Mark Estephan’s bedroom, surrounded by empty La Croix cans.
As indie as it could be, “Concrete Moon” comes out as an explosive cluster of sounds that radiate in heat and permeate your heart’s wall. The constant contrast between vulnerability and noise makes an honest, unapologetic statement.
Charged with drastic emotional power, Estephan’s hoarse, angst-filled voice easily evokes an emotional response. Like a storm that confronts and penetrates the cold, concrete walls with determination, “Concrete Moon” is immersive and hard-hitting.
