We need to talk about IOWA from OHYUNG
Is anyone here familiar with Ohyung’s work?
They’ve been one of my favourite ambient creators since they released the Imagine Naked! project. I recently found out they have a new ambient album, inspired by their time in Iowa and written as an ode to Bruce Springsteen while also feeling like an elegy for grief, loss, and mourning. I certinaly felt it captures something deeply tender and painful.
I really haven’t felt this way about an album since listening to Jon Hopkins’ Immunity, which is a pretty big thing for me to say. I listened to the whole album in one uninterrupted sitting, and the final track completely broke me making a hole in my chest. It felt so intimate, so raw, but also so soft.
Has anyone else listened to it? I’m really really curious to hear other people’s thoughts.
Thank you crew!
