posted in Featured, Interviews on January 29, 2015 by Anna 0 Comments

One of the strongest debuts of 2014–to the extent that label applies to collaborating artists that have already been active separately–was that of singer-songwriter duo Kim Sawol X Kim Haewon.

Mini-Interview with Hippie Death Star

posted in Featured, Interviews on December 27, 2014 by Anna 0 Comments

There is a special place in my heart reserved for The Plastic Day.

For many years now–ever since reading that one of the Hinoi Team members’ hobby was to ‘try different shampoos’–the concept of idol profiles has fascinated me. I first got the idea to make them for Indieful ROK when I promised a Pavlov focus back in 2009, but somehow never got around to it. I returned… Continue reading →
