about

Oh my god! Experimental rap artist and film composer OHYUNG follows their first project Untitled (Chinese Man with Flame) with their new album PROTECTOR, an 11-song cross-genre collision course through distorted 808s, pitch-shifted rapping, frenetic pop energy and ambient loops. Peppered with jacked-up late night DJ laser beams and explosions, PROTECTOR shifts into new grounds with every song. The album begins with experimental noise gamelan, and moves into pitch-shifted rap to screaming distorted punk; OHYUNG blends anime theme song Korean pop with Soundcloud jungle beats; and layers samples from Italian opera and Taiwanese movies into hazy self-loathing incantations (“I hate myself” repeated over and over) and lullaby meditations on the afterlife: “Now that I close my eyes... the world I see is so beautiful.”

PROTECTOR is an often disparaging and self-critical internal conversation. “Oh my god, you are a fraud” repeats over a brooding trap beat, and samples anxiously loop into infinity. But it’s also filled with self discovery and connection with others. “Shenme Gui” is a demented Chinese New Year riot song in collaboration with Space Meow Doll (rapping in Chinese) and Qing Liberty (“Dyke boot to the neck!”) where they cathartically dance-rage at the world. "Ga ga Ee,” sung by artist and filmmaker Hye Yun Park, is a soaring Kpop/Jungle hybrid about diasporic longing and dreaming of a home. Touching on themes of beauty, gender, body image, and diaspora, OHYUNG has produced an album that is at once riotous, gentle, anti-nostalgic, and fully charged.
