Traditional Korean Music/Post-Rock fusion trio Jambinai will finally release their first full-length album, 차연 (Différance), on February 2nd. The album follows the band’s self-titled three track release from 2010 that was widely appreciated (a favorite among all three editors of Korean Indie at that).

Jambinai ended up winning the 2011 Hello Rookie Jury Prize with their unique sound–although traditionally schooled the members have proven very willing to bend the rules. While the traditional instruments may lure unsuspecting listeners to expect something different, in a recent interview with Jeju Weekly the band stated “we don’t make soft music. Our music is hard and heavy.” .

Audio from the main track on the album, “소멸의 시간”, was uploaded to YouTube earlier today by GMC Records owner Ssako:
