I no longer recall when I first came across her name in a CD booklet, but over the years I’ve found that if there is a song listed in connection with Jane Ha chances are it’s already one of my favorites. During the last couple of years I’ve primarily heard her in capacity of her… Continue reading

Mini-Interview with Go-yo
Melancholic tunes with a piano are usually a hit with me, and so I quite liked singer/songwriter Go-yo‘s self-titled EP released last year. For a few months I was thinking I ought to give it some attention beyond the simple release update, but as happens far too often I never got around to it. So… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with The Quip
A few days ago I shared my enthusiasm over rock act The Quip, that released its first EP little over two months ago. In what little time has passed since, The Quip entered the list over my current favorite bands. Of course I was eager to find out more, and the band’s drummer swiftly ensured… Continue reading
Mini interview with Kinzli
Since a couple of weeks back I’m quite fond of Kinzli & the Kilowatts. I liked Kinzli’s music from the start, was happy to find Kim Doo Soo first in the list of her influences, and even happier to find that she likes scientific calculators with the fraction to decimal function. I’ve listened a lot… Continue reading
Mini interview with Kafka
In 2004 I came across some pretty fantastic music as I somehow stumbled upon Kafka‘s self-titled debut album – I fondly remember a long lost favorite playlist of mine from that time featuring strategically chosen songs from Kafka alongside Yellow Kitchen and ZzzAam (whose 3rd full length album was released about the same time) that… Continue reading
Mini-Interview with Jambinai
When the complete lineup for Lotus Carnival earlier this spring was announced, I spotted several names unknown to me. One of them was 잠비나이 (JAMBINAI), a recent signee of Estella Records, and after what I could make out of their bio at SSamnet I was really curious to hear them. A month later Estella’s Kyono… Continue reading
Mini interview with Vidulgi OoyoO
After fairly recently turning into a fan of the outstanding shoegaze act Vidulgi OoyoO, I had really been looking forward to catching them live again during Lotus Carnival this weekend. As it happens the volcanic ash cloud over Europe has kept me from getting over to Korea in time for the event, but thanks to… Continue reading
Teaser Interview with Noeazy
During my trip to Korea in October last year, I had the pleasure of catching metalcore band Noeazy live. It didn’t take long before I had developed a girl crush on the bassist and decided I wanted a chance to interview her. Although as all too often I never got around to doing much about… Continue reading
Mini interview with National Pigeon Unity
Young trio National Pigeon Unity impressed me a lot when I first saw them live in October last year. Catching them live again last month I was reminded of how great they are, yet I was not prepared for just how much I’d come to like them. March 23 the band will release its first… Continue reading
Mini-interview with FilmStar
I first came across FilmStar while browsing MySpace some time last year. Their sound – reminding me of The Motorhomes – appealed to me right away and I secured a copy of their single via mrkwang. As it had been released in 2008 and so many bands with great potential never get around to follow… Continue reading
