REVIEW:
"Anyone who has been out in the natural world at any point in time can attest to becoming seemingly overwhelmed by the beauty that surrounds them at times. It is this very concept that Aware 哀れむ attempts to encapsulate for the listener. While synths are present throughout, much of this theme is communicated through the use of profound field recordings, although this is not the case for all tracks here.
One of my favorite examples of the sublime use of field recordings on this album can be heard in "Bird and Thunder." The track starts off slowly with a simple, singular synth playing out pads that straddle a line between peaceful and ominous. As the synth plays, the ambient sounds of an approaching storm are heard in the background in a moment of beauty and foreboding. But IGHWM doesn't solely rely on these recordings throughout to convey these sentiments. "Goodbye, My Brother" almost completely disposes of the field recordings for its two-and-a-half-minute runtime while conveying the same strange sense of beautiful foreboding. It is this tension between the two that seems to permeate and define the entire album."
