[Out of the Box] Iglooghost
December 28, 2017
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
Cy Recommends – Decadent
December 11, 2017
Okay, so here’s the thing. I don’t believe I’ve ever been more offended by a band than I was when I first heard this neo-blues outfit. I first discovered Decadent when the ladies and I were putting together our list of must-sees for Zandari Festa. They were kind enough to answer a few questions for … More Cy Recommends – Decadent
[Out of the Box] G Yamazawa
November 23, 2017
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
Cy Recommends — Nuz
November 20, 2017
By now it’s obvious that I’m a sucker for any and all thing R&B and Soul. This, of course, includes all subgenres. One that I’ve not had the pleasure of hearing a lot of from South Korea is neo-soul. Sure, some of the top and more adventurous idols delve into what are considered fringe musical … More Cy Recommends — Nuz

October 10, 2017
Windy Cat is an alternative duo consisting of singer-songwriter Kim Hye-rim and producer Oh Young Suk. The duo debuted in 2010 with their EP Nobody Knows and have steadily pushed forward with new styles of music with almost each release. I got to know them through their EP Windycats which has a beautiful mixture of … More Mir Recommends – Windy Cat (윈디캣)
Jenna Recommends: Oriental Showcus
October 4, 2017
If you’ve been looking for a band with upbeat tunes, a positive attitude and plenty of spunk, you need look no further than Oriental Showcus. I found them awhile ago, and it seemed to hit me at the exact right timing, because I had found myself in a musical rut and these guys pulled me … More Jenna Recommends: Oriental Showcus
Mir Recommends – Kisnue (키스누)
October 3, 2017
This week I came across KISNUE on Spotify. Shoutout to the Korean artists who upload their music on there despite Spotify’s per-stream royalties. Your international listeners, like myself, thank you. Kisnue is a pop retrowave duo comprised of singer-songwriter Song Eunsuk and Choi Sangil. This past month the duo released their first EP Overpaint. Overpaint … More Mir Recommends – Kisnue (키스누)
Cy Recommends — Odd Folks
September 18, 2017
As you all know, I actually took the time out to go to KCON LA this year. Let me tell you, it was one of the most enlightening experiences in my life. A consequence—or perhaps blessing—of getting to go to perhaps the largest celebration of Korean music and pop culture in the world is getting … More Cy Recommends — Odd Folks
Jenna Recommends: J.Knife
September 13, 2017
Jumping back in the recommendation saddle, I’m ready to start sharing some of what I’ve been listening to lately. I first heard j.knife on the Sounds of The Korean Underground show hosted by my friend, Shawn. And when he said that the artist was only 14, I could hardly believe it. There is a gentle … More Jenna Recommends: J.Knife
