Why ABTB Is My Favorite Korean Band to See Live
November 13, 2019
So this is the thing. Before Zandari Festa last year I hadn’t even heard of ABTB. I was ready to experience a lot of punk from South Korea and had no expectations about what I was going to see. My first encounter with Club FF was also my first time ever hearing anything from the … More Why ABTB Is My Favorite Korean Band to See Live

Cy Recommends — JJANGYOU
February 21, 2019
My favorite Korean hip-hop album from last year was KOKI7. That says something, considering some of the most incredible hip-hop came out of the country in 2018 (including both Yoon Mirae’s highly anticipated Gemini II and Drunken Tiger’s final album under the moniker, Rebirth of Tiger JK). I won’t deny it: JJANGYOU is my favorite male rapper … More Cy Recommends — JJANGYOU
[REVIEW] Decadent — Ringing / Talus
February 3, 2019
So we’re starting of 2019 with an explosion, are we? On January 30, one of my favorite bands, Decadent, released their third EP (second single album), 링구 (Ringing) / 애추 (Talus). I won’t bore you with a drawn-out introduction. The album has so much to unpack as it is. Though the EP starts with the … More [REVIEW] Decadent — Ringing / Talus
SPACECOWBOY Returns with Moody Track “Rain”
July 4, 2018
As you all recently found out, I’ve got an immense amount of love and adoration for SPACECOWBOY. His brand of electronica is more than just the sum of its parts, really. There’s always a story there, always something deeper nestling under the surface. With his latest track, “Rain,” he bridges the gap between his electronic … More SPACECOWBOY Returns with Moody Track “Rain”
Cy Recommends — SPACECOWBOY
July 2, 2018
No, it’s not the iconic Jamiroquai symbol I’m talking about — though truth be told that’s exactly why I actually began listening to this artist. No, Space Cowboy is an artist that penetrates the psyche with a brand of electronic music that isn’t exactly commonplace in Korea. I came to SPACECOWBOY a little bit earlier … More Cy Recommends — SPACECOWBOY
Yeseo Knows Bad “Bitches Rule”
June 30, 2018
Damn! It’s great to be a woman! Sometimes you come across an anthem that just makes you wanna go out in the streets, take off your bra, and slap a dude that dares try to cross you. In 2016, that was “Formation.” Last year it was “Bodak Yellow.” It may very well be that YESEO‘s … More Yeseo Knows Bad “Bitches Rule”
