This week’s recommendation is a three piece band self-described as Emo Pop called Adios Audio. Adios Audio’s sound is a combination of pop rock with yodelling highs, soft lows and emotive melodies. Adios Audio came to my attention through a gig poster from a band I follow on instagram. I was zooming in at the … More Mir Recommends – Adios Audio (아디오스 오디오)
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”
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
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”
As everyone here knows I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for one Dumbfouneaded. His unabashed honesty and undeniable ability to build a story with ferocious lyricism are attributes of his style that I thought were unmatched. Oh, how wrong I was. So… so very wrong. Year of the Ox came on my radar … More Cy Recommends — Year of the Ox (YOX)
We here at Rock N’ Seoul have a definite soft spot for the Feel Ghood Music’s little brother. As such, it’s no surprise that we’re all elated that he’s coming back for SXSW this year to reintroduce himself as one of the hottest MCs coming out of South Korea. Though technically Korean-American, he’s managed to … More Cy Recommends — Junoflo
With SXSW just around the corner, it seemed pertinent to introduce readers to some of the artists invited to this year’s festival. 2018 is looking to be even bigger than previous festivals, “K-pop Night Out” taking on the more apt “Korean Showcase,” thus allowing for a wider range of festivalgoers who may not be all … More Cy Recommends – CIFIKA
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
If you think I’m focusing a lot on women in the first part of 2018… you’re right. You’re absolutely right. And what a group of kick-ass females they are. I’m just gonna dig right in on this one. A-Fuzz is one of the stankiest, jammingest band of women I’ve heard come out of South Korea. … More Cy Recommends – A-Fuzz
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
