And Hyd was best known as the face of QT, the side project by the late Sophie and A.G. Cook, and last year they released a four-track self-titled EP featuring production by Cook and Caroline Polachek.

Seafoam Walls XVI Album Release Party at Technique Records
Last year, Seafoam Walls released its debut album, XVI, via the Daydream Library Series, the label operated by Eva Prinz and Thurston Moore. The band is about to embark on a tour in support of the critically acclaimed album, but before doing so, Technique Records is giving the band a proper sendoff on Sunday. The band will sign records and perform live at the Upper Eastside record store — and, don't worry, copies of the album will be available to purchase at the event. The band returns later this month for a performance at Gramps on March 12.
3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 6, at Technique Records, 880 NE 79th St., Miami; 786-717-6622; techniquerecords.com. Admission is free.
