with sorrow comes a weight heavier than all of heaven and earth entwined. a weight that no light, no silver ribbon of midday sun could mend. hidden behind arms full of sloping blooms and bowing branches, who’s lavender hair flows delicately like gossamer threads; a girl whose heart burns a countless multitude of embers. devote and elysian, crying tears of bliss into the ever revealing sunlight. the bittersweet tragedy of formlessness: to be nothing and everything at once. with wings that melt like wax and splinters that shatter like water into her skin. a vessel for blame. another tool for the wraithlike phantoms who plan in the night. but how could the young saint know of nature’s great advance, alone and feral? calling from below the memories of a life yet lived, or perhaps a life yet touched by time. a lantern floating beneath the surface of a placid onyx lake. forever twisting through the snow-white corridors of time like a lost prayer from a lonely soul. a being melting and reforming with each moment, malleable to the threads of fate. “i wish to be among the lilies, among the curls of sun as they embrace the water. to float as one with a purpose. a being of tragedy, but a being nonetheless,” she says, her voice full of inclination. “for of all the purity i have shared not a single drop has been saved. drops that like gentle serene tears become forever lost the moment they fall. dropping short and fast like wingless spirits cut loose from the heavens. forever trapped in the wild hollow wondering amidst the labyrinth of flora. just a saint without an altar, a goddess without a shrine. cast away warmth… siren of the formless.”

leaving this window open so city girl suddenly plays on april 14

If anyone is wondering what the voice in the first song is saying, she says in Korean "탕수육 이요" which roughly translates to "sweet&sour pork please" in the context of ordering food from a menu. (More specifically, the Korean-Chinese dish 'Tangsuyuk'). Guess now we know Ji-Eun's favorite!

City Girl's shoulders must hurt carrying the entire music industry on them

I PAUSED MY CITY GIRL TO LISTEN TO MORE CITY GIRL HELP-

SHARPLY INHALES AND LETS OUT A LONG SCREAM

OMG!!!!!! THE ARTCOVER IS SO PRETTY

With this album, City Girl demonstrates that their best is yet to come. Don't let me be misunderstood; this new release has done what Chroma Velocity previously achieved, showing that City Girl is constantly raising the bar on their work. Seemingly, City Girl is only be able deliver songs that I will be stuck listening to on repeat. Unsurprisingly, this album is my new favorite. City Girl's excellent composition lifts me in it's tender melodies, and floats me along like a leaf, lapping on the ocean waves breaking smoothly on the shores of a beach. As I'm typing this, I have shivers thinking about the next release in this artist's career. I can only describe it as the weird feeling of knowing there is another favourite song I have yet to hear. I know then, that City Girl's "BEST" is still on it's way. We are here together for their climb up, and we can all expect their journey to be as beautiful and captivating as this music. Lead on City Girl. -Isaac

city girl is literally going to get a dedication when I finish this book, it's the main music I listen to while writing. Its really interesting the format of this video with the typing because this is usually what I see when I listen to your music. Not as fast to be honest but still haha

City Girl has gotten me through the most intense parts of my life. I can’t wait to enjoy the sounds they’ve created to help us get through this time in world. Thanks for your music City Girl!💕💕

HYPE HYPE HYPE

Oh God this is gonna kill me isn't it

Two albums in one day, you spoil us with your fantastic music. Been hooked ever since hearing Snow Rose and I always look forward to your album releases. Your music has a very unique yet nostalgic vibe about it and I hope you continue to see success both in your music production and day to day life. Stay safe and stay healthy and thanks once again for helping us all to chill out, relax and reflect. Til next time.

"Goddess of the Hollow" seemed a bit short, so I'm relieved that it's actually part of a dual album release, kinda like what _This Will Destroy You_ did with their 2 "New Others" albums (though those were released a month apart) back in 2018. I'm confident that these two albums will be worth the wait though I will admit that Chroma Velocity did set the bar really high and was actually a random KZfaq recommendation that got me into your music in the first place lol. Once again, thanks for your out-of-the-box approach to electronic music, City Girl.

Oh my god two albums that’s everything I wanted can’t wait ! *yells histerically* 🤩🥰

You literally have no clue that this is one of three things that I am happy about right now

"어... 탕수육이요!" Your music is the best as always... and the artwork is so pretty!

The art covers for this and the other new album are gorgeous like I'm in awe.

I just gasped and screamed when I saw this!!!!!!!!! Love love love

Jesus, this album art is amazing. Spring, Melodic, City Girl vibes 🔥

Waiting (im)patiently! Thinking about doing limited run CDs again? Would love to have these on my shelf!

Hey all... I waited a few days to really absorb this one before I threw in my two cents. First, I didn't purchase goddess of the hollow yet as I don't think I could give either one the proper attention that it deserved. So one at a time for now, and I'll be saving that one for another day. Siren of the Formless actually seemed to be a bit of a throwback to some of City Girls beloved earlier sounds, with obvious nods to Neon Impasse and some of the softer elements of loveless and snow rose, at least to my ear. As always, the musicianship and arrangements are top notch and somehow manage to be relaxing and exciting at the same time, just as any good daydream should be. I really love this and I'm giving it the big Wayne's World thumbs up. Excellent!! Big thank you to City Girl for dropping two albums for us to chew on in these seriously weird times. Hope you are safe and well out there.

As much as I loved goddess of the hollow its not as easy listening as this one. This one doesn't demand your full attention you can listen to it and work yet it still is amazing. This has helped me so much with the art piece I'm working on at the moment. There is something about your music that feels more like art compared to other music. I don't know why. Maybe its the mixture of the album cover with the songs that suit it.

I've been having a rough time with myself, and the only thing holding me back from doing terrible things to myself and the only thing holding me together is my comfort shows and City Girl. I showed it to my grandma yesterday, and now she is going to listen to City Girl as well. Thank you so much City Girl, for all you have done. These songs hold so much power, and it gets rid of all my anxiety and fear.

Not only that the music is always so phenomenal, I can't help but admire the art covers. The art fits the music, the character is pretty and the setting and colors are just great. Thanks for making music all these years, they calm me down and they help me concentrate!

"Silver Ribbons in Lavender Hair" be givin' me those 4 P.M. Animal Crossing (GC) feelings

City Girl's music is honestly the *BEST* music to listen to while doing work. One of the best things is it can be work of any kind! :D

We got so caught up in 'Goddess of the hollow' a few weeks ago that I forgot to leave a comment. We played both albums that night and came back today for an encore and to say thank you for being the forever soundtrack to a special time in our lives.

city girl, thank you for the most gorgeous, heart-filling music. you’ve outdone yourself yet again. ⭐️

City Girl makes me feel like a City Girl and I love it!

Does the art in the video remind anyone else of the meme of "I'm washing me and my clothes bitch, I'm washing me and my clothes."?

heavenly music with random gibberish in your own language.. what an amazing experience

listening to this while doing homework brings me a vibe so special I didn't even know it existed. thank you city girl ❤️ edit: I think this gives my cat a special vibe as well, that's how amazing your music is :)

An April snow is falling in the sunshine, listening to new City Girl, maybe things will be alright after all. Thank you for being the soundtrack to my life

I quite literally had an eargasm listening to these songs, I screamed out of joy in disbelieve how beautiful music can be! you're such a crazy good artist never stop making music

Listened to this on Spotify, and it's really fun! Your mixing and mastering is always an absolute treat for audiophiles like me. Definitely buying this soon.

HMMMM WOULD THAT COVER BE REFERNCE TO OPHILIA ?? ITS GORGEOUS EITHER WAY

Wow, listened to this whole album and I was disappointed when it was over. Transition was seamless and the compilation is perfect! Thanks so much for blessing us with your music ... and for free! I can't imagine not having you here for us 💞 You bring a whole new meaning to being an artist. The artwork, the music, and your poetry are everything!

The queen has returned

Your music inspires my illustration's mood so much thank you for existing ☁️✨

Just what we need right now ❤️

This album restored my soul

I don't know if this was intentional, but the art for this album reminds me of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Damn, what a treat, still familiar but you can tell City Girl really wanted to trying something new with this album, way more emphasis on traditional instruments in those later songs than most her stuff, formless angel almost sounds like a synthetic version of noir fading into traditional Venitian music. I'm real glad City Girl isn't scared about dipping her toes a little more in different directions with her albums because it usually turns out great.

I am so living for that drop in Ji-Eun's favorite where she says that thing in korean

God bless youtube for the random playlists🙏

it's amazing the contrast between this and goddess of the hollow. while this has a foundation of fun melodies and whimsical layers, goddess of the hollow appears to rely on melancholic notes and somber mood shifts. if i may, i'd like to offer my opinion...perhaps you are stuck between worlds, feeling as if you lack the ability to control anything around you, including your emotions, not realizing that your potential for dynamic change rests inside of your very own mind. we all have the ability to allow both light and dark into our worlds, as do we possess the inherent capability to reject those very same energies. the decision is up to us whether we fall into the traps of self-pity and helplessness or rise above and strive for inner peace and self-love

This may be my new favorite citygirl album

Gorgeous heaven for my ears, never too loud and bringing just enough comfort that hope and sleep are finally here for me during these time. Wishing the same to all of you.

Man, it's really nice to have some fresh city girl as background/resting music in these times. Much love, and much thanks for all the work!

The cover art is beautiful in such an earthly way 🥺💕

This was posted three days before my birthday last year during 2020, it was such a blessing to have this come out then

thank you for bringing some light to this dark time

Out of all your albums imo personally this is your best work, silver ribbons in lavender hair is some of if not the BEST. 🥳💯TRUE TALENT,. You have forever changed my life. Thank you, I'd love to know what programs and stuff youre using for your recordings, you have SO many different styles that are all unique to you and you alone, every album is like Christmas, so many different styles ,keep doing what you're doing! The world needs you 🙌🥳💯

I think I can live the rest of my life on your music alone and your cover art inspires me to draw again😍

your music has helped me so much through the most recent years. it has accompanied me through cramming for exams when i was in high school, through melancholic and sadder times, through reading a book until way too late in the night. your music truly makes me feel hings i can't explain and i honestly love the setups you write in the beginning of the your albums. thank you so much, keep on making amazing art

dont know why this was in my recommended, but im not complaining. i think i found a new artist, thank you

Dude I've listened to this album so many times in the past week. Strong AOTY contender right here.

VICKI YOUR DRAW IS!!!!!!!

0:56 Its a korean meaning i wanna order a chinese food It so funny to hear that in this channel😂😂 ???탕수육 이라뇨ㅋㅋㅋ 존뜬금이넼ㅋㅋㅋ

i love u city girl, thank you for existing and for making such wonderful music

Spotify msg said I was top 1% of your listeners globally. Proud fan :) Love the new album.

I love how every album you make sounds different from another. Each album sounds fresh and got this "cg vibes". I love everything you make. Thank you for music that was with me during bad and good times. I really can't thank you enough

This...This thing... although i cant put a name on it, its an emotion i feel. A great overwhelming, one might call it. When i listen to this, immediate butterfly's. Thank you so much for creating a masterpiece. This music has helped me personally through a lot of stuff, and i know for a fact it has helped a lot, and i cant stress this enough, a lot of people. You do not realize the impact you have on the music industry. Thank you again for all of the sick tunes you've created for us to jam to. Please never stop creating new things.

Seriously blown away by this project, what a ride.

Oh GOD yes the art! The form! The power of this album fills me with so much joy

Amazing as always.

there's something so homey and comforting about this album. it's just so amazing i can't-

City Girl, you inspire me so much. It's all thanks to you that I've started making music and am currently trying to discover my own sound! Your musical journey has become something for me to look up to and I aspire to be like you someday. I adore both of these new albums, and I especially love the leitmotifs from your previous albums! Keep up the beautiful work ♡

Something to help me get 2020 out of my system. If only for half an hour. The artwork reminds me of the Ophelia painting 🌸

City Girl, you are amazing. I can’t describe my appreciation towards you, just thank you. You are so inspiring

OH MY THIS IS EVEN MORE GODLY THAN I EXPECTED 🥺💕

I'm so HYPED! gonna have a whole month of vibrating with excitement till it premieres

THIS CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY AND I MISSED OUT ON CITY GIRL'S ALBUMS AAAA i love you i really do thank you :')

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science."

This album is a masterpiece.

this gave me the push i needed to get myself out of bed and get caught up with assignments for the end of the semester. ty city girl. i listen to your music every day

I am so happy I found you CityGirl. I love your music! It takes me to places, it lets out my emotions and it lifts me up 🥰 it’s so dreamy 💜

God this is all so fucking pretty. your music has honestly helped me SO much these past weeks, and now I have essentially paradise right here. thank you so much, City Girl.

In the fist 5 minutes of the album and I’m already loving it

FINALLY. I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!!! LOVE IT, GIRL!!! YOU JUST AWESOME!!!

Siren of the Formless always makes me cry at the end. It's such a wonderful album.

i'm literally gonna listen to this every morning while playing animal crossing from now on

Was running out of chill music to listen to while working. City Girl saved my month

Hello to you nice meeting you, and I thank you for sharing this to us:-).

Two new albums? yes

okay but the passage in the beginning was so beautiful

Best quarantine gift. Thank you City Girl, you are mother to us all.

I listened to this and goddess of the hollow back to back and I'm so impressed by how they can have such different sounds and still be identifiable as your work. Stellar job, as always!

the art is so amazing, the death of ophelia is so sad but this is just sooooooooo pretty uwu

드디어 나왔다 !!

Her music is so calm is like ur in whole new world.Love ur music

Thank you for your music. You take the best of down tempo and mix it with jazz, soft rock, melody, and variety, all while keeping a unified style, each album embodied with their own energy and course. My favorite artist of the last couple years. Thank you for being so focused and creating so much music!

Чарівні мелодії, дуже дякую

*sits back with noise canceling headphones on in the dark and just lets the music move* ...glorious...

This cover art and the whole mix sooooo reminds me of Ophelia!! She's probably my favorite character in all of Shakespeare. Love it!

such a charming and wonderful album - love the percussion on "pond of lillies"... :-)

City girl inspired me a lot to drawing and write stories. I recommended a lot to my friends! Thanks for these masterpieces!

This is actually so good. Floored, really

This album gave me nostalgia, I don't know why, but I liked it
