Vital NYC experimental solo artist OHYUNG explores their own gender transition with arresting new album of trip-hop laced, rave-inspired electronic songwriting You Are Always On My Mind.
Brooklyn-based Asian-American experimental musician and composer Lia Ouyang Rusli a.k.a. OHYUNG explores their own gender transition with the arresting You Are Always On My Mind – a striking new album of trip-hop laced, rave-inspired electronic songwriting.
Out March 28th through the indie labels NNA Tapes (US) and Phantom Limb (UK), Rusli describes their new album as “my trans self and my former self in conversation, from both perspectives.” You Are Always On My Mind represents their lengthy, complicated, but crucial journey between lives, strewn with both doubt and excitement. It is an ecstatic, pop-oriented shift in direction from an artist primarily known for noise, experimental hip-hop, and ambient music, but carried with sleek confidence, maturity, and a silvery, hallucinogenic shimmer that reveals Rusli’s experimental background. It is, writes Rusli, “sometimes written from a dark place and other times from a place of happiness.” Throughout, darkness and light rise and fall in layers of phased strings, trip-hop drum production, and earworming vocal lines.
