WEEKEND MUSIC PT. 55: OHYUNG “YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND”

Somewhere between a whispered memory and a cinematic dream, OHYUNG makes music that lingers like a feeling you can’t name.

Based in Brooklyn, OHYUNG is quietly reshaping the edges of experimental pop. Their latest album, You Are Always on My Mind, marks a gentle yet radical evolution in their sound, moving away from noise and hip-hop into a world built on glitchy textures and slow-burning emotion.

OHYUNG’s music feels cinematic, unsurprising for an artist whose work also spans film scoring. Their ambient compositions have accompanied documentaries and arthouse films, and that sense of emotional pacing carries into their solo projects. On this album, they blend pop structures with ambient drift, creating a space where memory, identity and transformation seem to dissolve into sound.

The production is minimal but richly felt, often shaped from ordinary sample packs and processed into something emotionally precise. It’s a personal kind of maximalism: big feelings expressed with restraint, drama without spectacle. The result is tender, melancholic, and deeply human.

For listeners new to OHYUNG, You Are Always on My Mind is an entry point into a singular artistic voice, one that moves with curiosity between music and cinema, between experimentation and intimacy, always in search of new forms of expression.
