"Symphony For Those In Pain" is Morgve's first record of 2024. Released in September, the album landed in my mailbox not long after it came out, but after my first stream, for some reason, I couldn't get into the right headspace to review it. While listening to it, I can’t shake the feeling that this project, in particular, sounds more like a compilation of singles rather than an album meant to tell a story, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Instead, we get a collection of some of the duo’s strongest tracks, both in terms of vocal diversity and eclectic production. There’s melancholic witch house, rave-y breakbeats, post-trance bass, deconstructed club and gabber, spacious layered ambient soundscapes, and more! If you approach this record with the mindset that it’s a "best of" compilation, I believe the appreciation for its craft will be greater. "Black Tiger" is just... wow! Please support those two as much as you can!
