Hotel Insomnia is the fifth and final studio album by Japanese shoegaze band For Tracy Hyde, released on December 14, 2022, through P-Vine Records.[1] [2]
The album was inspired by the unease and anxiety of living in a post-COVID world. The band cites shibuya-kei as a major influence on the album's sound.[3]
The album was released on December 14, 2022. It was preceded by the singles "Subway Station Revelation" and "Milkshake". Milkshake was released as part of a split single with Thai shoegaze band Death of Heather.[4] A tour was announced for the album, featuring three dates around Tokyo and Osaka, and a co-headline with Lovely Summer Chan.[5] On January 5, 2023, it was announced that the band would break up on March 25, after the final show of the tour.[6]
Pitchfork featured the album on their "6 New Albums You Should Listen to Now" list.[7] Joshua Kim of NPR praised the song "Undulate", saying that it "feels like we're being launched into space, leaving the stratosphere to find a new home among the stars."[8]
