posted in Live Reviews on November 16, 2017 by Anna 0 Comments

Seoul-based showcase festival Zandari Festa consistently attracts both great Korean and international acts as well as other attendees, making it easy to catch up with old and new friends alike. As such, for the past couple of years has been one of the highlights of my annual Korea trips. So also this year. Zandari Thursday,… Continue reading →

Zandari Festa 2016 Review

posted in Live Reviews on November 15, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

Last year I attended Korean showcase festival Zandari Festa for the first time. I’d been hesitating about going for weeks, but ended up having such a great time that this year I made sure to plan a trip to Korea in time for Zandari Festa 2016. As this was I had prepared a bit better,… Continue reading →

Jambinai – A Hermitage

posted in Album Reviews on June 14, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

I fell in love with the music of Jambinai six years ago. When I fall in love with new music I’m usually very excited for whatever comes next only to become somewhat more disappointed with every new release until I end up listening to material more out of a sense of duty than anything else….

This article listing Anna’s favorite releases of 2010 was edited by Philip Gowman and first posted on London Korean Links   Another year is coming to an end, and in what has become an unfortunate trend I’ve found that I’ve listened to much less music than the year before.

PAKK – 곡소리 (A Wail)

posted in Album Reviews on March 7, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

When I first listened to PAKK‘s 곡소리 (A Wail) it felt like coming home. The EP opens with a cacophony of guitar, bass and drums before finding more of a structure. When the song gets going the progression is similar to that of Apollo 18. The guitar is laying down the melody supported by a… Continue reading →

Brazilian filmmaker couple Diana Boccara and Leo Longo have an interesting project going since last year: Around The World In 80 Music Videos.

Modern Sky Helsinki 2015 Review

posted in Live Reviews on January 20, 2016 by Anna 3 Comments

End of August 2015 I came home from the best music festival I’ve ever attended: Modern Sky Festival Helsinki. For the past decade I’d been suspecting that I’m too old to really enjoy a music festival anymore. My previous proper attempt was Grand Mint Festival in 2009 and since then I’d pretty much just gone… Continue reading →

Zandari Festa 2015 Review

posted in Live Reviews on January 19, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

Beginning of October 2015 I happened to be on vacation in Korea.
