Dehydration

Description

HYDRA is the brainchild of Swedish composer/musician Henrik Hedström, a songwriter based in Stockholm for many years and a friend of drummer/producer Daniel Flores (First Signal, Find Me, The Murder Of My Sweet) for 15 years. Following the two albums Point Break (2022) and ReHydration (2024), the Swedes will return on September 18, 2026 with their third album DeHydration via Pride & Joy Music. Flores plays drums and keyboards on DeHydration, while vocals as well as lead and rhythm guitars are handled by Andi Kravljaca. Henrik takes care of the keyboards, acoustic and clean guitars. The bass is handled by Johnny Trobro. In Henrik Hedström’s own words, he was “a kind of musical prodigy and always sang or played piano at school celebrations.” In Stockholm, Henrik founded and joined several bands over the years, working as a singer, guitarist and songwriter. He eventually decided to start a solo career and began working with Swedish producer Anders Bagge. After some time with Anders, Henrik founded a new band, Hydra. Around the same time, Henrik was signed as a songwriter by Warner/Chappell, writing pop music, but that was ultimately not where his heart was and he eventually embarked on a career outside music. In 2007, Henrik met Daniel Flores, whom he discovered through a mutual friend, Andreas Novak (Mind's Eye, House of Shakira). The two ended up recording a few pop demos for Warner/Chappell, but again, Henrik was not really into it and in 2009 he ended his contract with Warner/Chappell. In 2019, Flores contacted Henrik and asked him to send him old and newer versions of his songs, especially the rock ones. Later in 2019, Henrik’s song A Million Miles was recorded and released by First Signal and in 2020, Beat Them All by Angelica. Track listing: 1. This Time 2. Fooled by Love Again 3. Love Labyrinth 4.
