A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to the Indonesian band Tokyolite (Thank you Martin!) and it was truly love at first listen. I immediately went to devour all of the content I could find on YouTube and what I discovered was that, not only do they make great music, they also seem like … More [Out of the Box] Tokyolite
2018 has been dripping with Black Excellence since the clock struck midnight. The arts have been affected in a way that can only make me smile and laugh in outright delight. So much of music, film, and traditional art has seemingly hurdled us into a new Black Renaissance, and I’m just overwhelmed with the glory … More [Out of the Box] JOJO ABOT
Today’s Out of the Box is a bit of a throwback. Several years ago, coming on six years now, a friend of mine introduced me to an artist making big noise in China. When I checked her out, to say I was blown away would be doing her an injustice. SingerSen is a pixie of … More [Out of the Box] SingerSen
You know what I love? When artists that share a label or just a similar aural aesthetic recommend music from artists they also love. Such was the case when one of my favorite producer-cum-artists, Mndsgn, recommended Joyce Wrice on his Instagram. Joyce’s voice is just so light, such a magical sound. Effortless, lovely. Listening to … More [Out of the Box] — Joyce Wrice
Okay… first of all, RnS fam… HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME IRISH DUDES ROSE UP LIKE THIS?! I swear I can’t trust anybody anymore! I see y’all ain’t loyal! If there’s one genre that challenges my love of soul and R&B, it’s House and all its progeny. When I tell you I almost fell to the … More [Out of the Box] Iglooghost
There’s nothing quite like someone who has a keen mastery of their mother tongue, a knife’s edge wit, and a rapacious appetite for absolutely shredding listeners with their flow, power, and musicality. I came across G Yamazawa on a whim. I was listening to another hip-hop album (don’t ask me to try to remember which), and … More [Out of the Box] G Yamazawa
Today I’d like to take you outside of yourself for a second, let you experience what it feels like to see your own psyche as you float above yourself. (Yeah… sometimes I get a little deep, but you all love it, really.) What I’m talking about is music that truly transcends the limitations of what … More [Out of the Box] Mndsgn
Last week I was trolling around online and stumbled across this little indie Chinese band, Schrödingers Cat. And we all know that I love post-hardcore music and shoegaze, so the second I heard them start to play, I basically fell in love. It’s not a music video, but it is the audio from one of their … More [Out of the Box] Schrödingers Cat -閉上眼的大樹
Today’s Out of the Box feature is Japanese electronic artist Tentenko. She debuted as a solo artist in 2014 with her first EP Good Bye, Good Girl. Tentenko melds 80’s synth pop with a splash of J-Pop and hip-hop beats thrown in for good measure. Her latest single “After School Sympathy (放課後シンパシー)” is a peppy … More [Out of the Box] TenTenko -After School Sympathy
Today I’m introducing a new feature here on Rock ‘N Seoul. Despite what our name suggests, we’re not all completely obsessed with Korean music to the detriment of enjoying anything from other countries. The truth is quite the opposite. Our mutual love of Korean music brought us all together – but we all really dig … More [Out of the Box] Yonige -Avocado
