Go Away

Released in 2012, Go Away represents a pivotal moment in WMD's exploration of emotional electronic music. While the artist is often associated with the broader 'chillwave' or 'downtempo' movements of the early 2010s, this album distinguishes itself through a more aggressive use of digital degradation and bit-crushing. The tracks are often short, vignette-like structures that prioritize mood over traditional song architecture. The inclusion of Latin titles like 'Ab Aeterno' and 'Ubi Amor, Ubi Dolor' suggests a preoccupation with timelessness and the universality of suffering, contrasting sharply with the modern, synthetic tools used to create the sound. Critically, the album is noted for its ability to make 'cold' electronic sounds feel deeply human and vulnerable. It remains a cult favorite for listeners seeking music that captures the specific intersection of technology and nostalgia.
