Sky Hundred is the fourth solo studio album by South Korean shoegaze musician Parannoul. It was surprise-released to Bandcamp on August 3, 2024, and later to all streaming platforms on August 7.[3][4] The album was preceded by two singles: "Gold River" on May 9 and "Painless" on July 12.[5][6]
In the album's Bandcamp description:[7]
"The sky is looking at hundreds of me, and no one can answer what the difference is between us. […] Innumerable skies have shone brighter than me, and now I think they are too precious for me to accept the truth and disappearance directly."[a]
— Parannoul
He dedicated the album to his current listeners, to his family, to "those who have left", and to "hundreds of me".[7]
