city girl | goddess of the hollow [full album]

[@CityGirlMusic]

she sinks below the surface of the abyss like a lantern hung beneath the water, its luminescence glowing in the swirling currents. she reaches towards the earth where her soul continues to twist and drift in a sea of embers. here below in heaven’s shadow she waits. patiently the pain comes. both numb and formless, intimate and vague. a prisoner to her own refrain, endlessly locked in somber song; a dulcet slumber in haunting hollows. and all the while the winds of time bellow chaotically around her. “will i ever be cared for or even noticed?” she wonders. “i feel as if my existence is slowly drifting off, like shattering crystals of snow raising one by one from a bed of fog. like smoke emanating from an ancient pyre far below. praise sweet saint of ember who shatters the night sky like a fine film of ice, melting its tempting curls with wreathes of cold blue flame. praise fair snow-cloaked princess in her lustrous sea of black and gold, born anew each night into a perpetual obsidian dark. is there any space left for an existence such as mine? is there an onyx demon who can plunge to my depths, a wild saint who can navigate this abyss? i can still feel the suns suffusion, it lingers in my dreams… but it is fleeting. my memories of those feral overflowing gardens above are sifted finer and finer as the days pass. just ghosts in the sun’s haze, drifting backwards through the light. a crazed sanctuary woven breathlessly from fragments of the past. a past that down here, motionless to those above, loses all meaning. just a gnarled shadow. twisted umbra… goddess of the hollow.”

Oh it sounds beautiful!!!

The art for both of the new albums is just *chef's kiss*.

[@CityGirlMusic]

agreed!!! vicki killed it once again. sososososo good

[@TummyHissell]

Where's the other new album? I only got a notification for this one! 😨 Edit: wait, NVM, found it!!

[@lightninglove222]

Literally what I said to myself moments ago

[@sable7687]

"Manifique"

[@silly6147]

Truly a masterpiece

[@moonlit_bc2685]

Just realized the covers are reverse of each other. One has thorns for a halo and the other dosen't. Both have moons opposite to each others position. And one city girl is wearing white the other black. Ones down to earth the other is in the clouds or space

[@torgeirmacqueen8226]

Its beautiful init?

[@Javid_74]

I don't think they're thorns, I see crosses.

[@isos9981]

the siren of the formless art actually stacks right on top of the goddess of the hollow art

[@gabeacevedo5760]

Yeah its nice!

[@undefinederror40404]

And one is looking at a city and the other is with nature. I wonder what it means, if anything.

[@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin]

I'm noticing City Girl is collaborating a lot more with Tiffi with each album and adding a lot more vocals for songs, not that I'm complaining of course, Tiffi and City Girl are an absolute dream team. Also love the seamless mixing of more melancholy lo-fi moments with the more aggressive and lively synth through the songs. Some pretty top-tier stuff

[@badradish2116]

can they just form a band already

[@androidscollective]

anybody else continue to come back to Goddess of the Hollow? I love it. In 20 years I will surely be 44 and listening to this still.

[@s0merand0m117]

yes, and agreed. 🥹🎀

[@Aemni1]

I was feeling a bit distressed because I have to prepare materials for a gallery exposition in August and I had no ideas, but now I'm resting a bit easier. I know city girl's albums always inspire me. ^_^ I'm sure this is going to be an amazing experience.

[@brandensaul]

It's sad when ARTIST like you don't get the attention and love that you so much deserve! Every evening I sit in my car with a glass of wine and zone out to your music. People think I'm odd when I listen to this style music but that's because they don't know MUSIC! Keep up the good work and continue to bless us with your talent.

I listened to this album while taking a long heated bath in a hotel room that overlooked a night lit marina and a broad expanse of bay water, a bright moon glistening off the waves, and I have never felt more at peace or one with the energies of life and existence. Absolutely breath taking.

[@CityGirlMusic]

that sounds super chill

[@SavCorp]

Can we talk about that drop

[@MasterHandsPet]

I know I just finished listening to this but I must admit that this album really is the showstopper. The quality of City Girl's production on these two albums is monumentally outstanding. But wow...this album in particular is truly incredible. City Girl, it's been a long time since I've felt genuine euphoria. But you have provided it in spades all over this record. I think you have achieved a perfect balance with your artistry. On one hand you can be very minimal, subdued and beautifully subtle. But on this you've melded that side of your style into this vast, spacious, and even experimental vision that blossoms to create these perfectly sequenced intergalactic grooves that are so delicately bathed in such a lush vibrant atmosphere. These songs are gentle but they are simultaneously complex and electrifying. I also very much appreciate the meticulous detail you provide with all the instrumental layering. It all swells into this mesmerizing eclipse of peak excellence in the genre of beat-making. Much Love

[@Project32HMT32]

Beautifully and accurately written

[@sunnysamaroo7610]

Seconded. You basically said everything I want to convey after listening to these two new amazing albums

How is this album only $4!?!? I would pay that for each song and still be satisfied!!! Your work feels to be worth a lot more than just $4.

I love how some songs go into Chroma velocity vibes and then calms down, perfect.

Listen we can't discount the entirety of animal crossing because that's been so clutch during virus times 😳

We knew about Coronavirus in December, and it was out of China in January. Smart people were already locked down by February.

[@AshenSpark]

@@TheReaverOfDarkness Well America sure as hell isn't full of smart people the messaging to the public was constantly that there was nothing going wrong even though I know there was and there wasn't any kind of actual public testing or any kind of mandate for months.

City Girl is original music, beautiful illustrations and poetry, all intertwined in expressing the soul = True Art! Kudos City Girl!

[@aidanlee6449]

City Girl gave us 2 albums in one day and we have to appreciate a queen like that

Goddess of the hollow is so addictive. Opens the album up with perfection.

the end of that intro song HITS

[@Dreadwaffle7]

Hey, it's me. The guy who commented about your music reminding me of Minecraft music. This album gives me flashbacks of Adventure Time. I used to watch it a lot as a kid and you keep me surprising me with all these tunes giving me these flashbacks of things I've experienced in the past. Like, these tunes are giving me serious Marceline vibes and I love it. I don't know any other artist who can give me these memories through music, thank you so much!

2:51 THOSE SYYYYYNTHSSS LET'S GOOOOO

[@aidanarroyo5106]

I am going to buy both your albums as soon as my next paycheck comes in. I love how this album continues that deep, hyper space, cosmic synthwave energy that city girl explored in Chroma velocity while experimenting with more somber and melancholy inducing tones and chords from all her other albums, and Tiffi sounds better than ever! This feels and sounds like the continuation of the story set in Chroma velocity. Honestly this album made me feel like I was walking around in the world of Hyper Light Drifter, if anybody knows what that is.

[@lolhi2867]

I love how the comment section of the videos on this channel are quite chill and I haven't seen anyone toxic yet...

[@friesiamans1966]

that´s true - during the recent years i´ve revisited the old musical heroes from my younger days to show some of them to my daughter who is 16 now - i must say, i was shocked about the amount of grumpy old guys (of my age and older), who are so full of scourn and hate towards the young generation of today, it´s horrible, and i had many moments, when i felt deeply ashamed of my generation - then i come here and find so many gentle, tender and caring people and i enjoy it so much - sometimes i feel like embracing you all... and i am amazed by the talent, the skill and the overflowing creativity of citiy girl - i´ve been following her since several cds and it´s thrilling to watch her evolve and still being friendly and dreamy... best wishes to you and love fróm germany

These two albums are already the best early birthday present. I love City Girl’s music so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@eggyofeggkingdom1951]

So strange how time flows, elegant and honest, moments pass through us like sand and we go from one huge moment to another whilst we are barely aware of it. I remember when this album came out, and I carry strong memories with it. I hear the first melodies of this track and instantly its three years prior and I'm on my bed, with my cat, playing hollow knight and the room is neither too warm nor too cold and it carries the scent of honey suckle from outside and that scent wafts in. In that moment I am at peace. I truly do love this album.

[@rinrinrinrinrinrinrinrinrin]

that's so cool, the top of this album's artwork lines up with the bottom of Siren of the Formless's art. Thanks city girl for the beautiful music!! (and for introducing me to vickisigh's art, their work is a huge inspiration)

[@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin]

Good catch, that's pretty neat

[@moonlitmoss_]

4/13/2020 - 9:02 am I'm so excited about this. this has been the one thing that's been keeping me afloat during this sea of stormy, unclear waters. City girl's new albums. it's the thing keeping me sane, the hope that's keeping me afloat while my thoughts try to drag me down and drown me. It propels me during the hardest moments. Tomorrow, when this comes out, I'm going to listen to it while doing my homework and feel so at peace, so glad that I've put up with hell to listen to this. I'm currently listening to City Girl's music right now, all her full albums on shuffle. and I feel so so happy right now. It reminds me of why I listened to your music in the first place, It reminds me of nostalgic and better times. long car drives to far away, mystical places and vacations while listening to your music through headphones and an outdated iPod. plane rides to Mexico, at night, listening to this music while everyone else was asleep. late-night study sessions at 3am, blinking the sleep out of my eyes as your melodies propel me to continue to live. thank you, city girl.

[@ThatG1RLVia]

I resonate with these words. So true. Thank you City Girl. You’ve been there at so many moments in my life. Your music is a blessing.❤️

[@TaoistDragon]

This is honestly hands down my favorite album by city girl, and that's saying something because I really like them all. There is just something to this one that really sticks out.

I love lo-fi, and since i discovered City Girl common lo-fi seems boring and repetitive, but this new albums are crazy, its not lo-fi anymore, its somehow magic, melancolic, sad, euphoric, it changes constantly, love it

[@johnadams8385]

This music is amazing. I am so happy to have stumbled onto your music six months ago. Thank you for the constantly excellent tunes. Sometimes I play your stuff in the background while I'm streaming, just as ambiance. This particular album carries this audible aesthetic that reminds me of ice caverns. Rock on, City Girl. Do your thing, you're kicking ass.

[@CityGirlMusic]

internet is fucking radical as heck

[@regnolonnrot6388]

This is a little belated, but: This album was so surprising in such a good way! I was expecting gorgeously chill music, but I was not at all expecting mysterious, nocturnal, magical girl dance floor witch City Girl (+ Tiffi) at all. Your sound has gotten so lush! The vocals and production on every single song on this album are absolute fire together. The way this and Siren beautifully contrast each other is wonderful and lights up the part of my brain that makes music (and therefore life) worthwhile. Beautiful album/s. ♥ I've enjoyed hearing you evolve as an artist so much.
