Lyric

A new frontier for singer-songwriter hwamo, joined by beatmaker 0mSv. "Lucid Dream" is a chaotic track that unearths light from the abyss of profound loss - a brilliant collision of raw talent from the Kansai alternative scene.

Exactly one year prior to this release - July 25, 2025 - marked a day of profound loss, leaving behind vivid memories etched within a haze of blurred consciousness. Compounded by a sudden, unexpected betrayal, the tearing rage, sorrow, and swirling self-reproach have been laid entirely bare, sublimated into true art. Even in the deepest depths of darkness, it encapsulates a raw, visceral resolve: to grasp the remaining light and move forward.

Sound production, mixing, and mastering are entirely helmed by 0mSv, a Kansai-based beatmaker known for constructing deep heavy bass and cutting-edge soundscapes. Atop a relentless beat where a menacing, heavy low-end meets sharply engineered, thrilling vocal samples, hwamo's distinctly oriental melodies vividly intersect with a lyrical approach. Meticulously engineered down to the millimeter without a single compromise, this stoic track brilliantly shatters any prior preconceptions of her sound, culminating in a razor-sharp and emotional masterpiece.

The jacket art features an original illustration by her older brother, Subin Park, with the background and typography designed by hwamo herself. Depicting a lotus flower quietly reaching toward the heavens through the darkness, the artwork embodies a singular, radiant prayer of light.
