Anna’s 10 Electric Muse Favorites

posted in Album Reviews on September 10, 2017 by Anna 0 Comments

Electric Muse is currently in the middle of celebrating its 10th anniversary. I’ve been following the label since the beginning and have greatly enjoyed a majority of its releases. As I can’t be in Seoul to celebrate in person, here’s a list of my 10 favorite releases on Electric Muse until now. Click the album… 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….

[Recall 2010] LKL Critics’ Choice 2010: Anna Lindgren

posted in Album Reviews, Year End Posts 2010 on June 2, 2016 by Anna 0 Comments

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. However judging from the limited number… Continue reading →

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 →

Modsdive – The Stasis of Humanity

posted in Album Reviews on April 3, 2013 by Anna 0 Comments

These days, whenever somebody asks me for my favorite bands I make sure to mention Modsdive. I’ve been following them from the very start and though the band is still new, they offered one of the best performances I saw last year. Now their first album The Stasis of Humanity is ready for release and… Continue reading →

Sasquatch – Utopia

posted in Album Reviews on April 1, 2013 by Anna 0 Comments

That I’m a huge supporter of Korean indie music shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anybody familiar with this site. All awesome bands aside, however, few things get me as excited as 90’s k-pop. Enter Sasquatch. When I first got around to listening to Utopia I could hardly stop. For little over a… Continue reading →

Lang Lee – 욘욘슨

posted in Album Reviews on August 20, 2012 by Anna 0 Comments

Most of the time I don’t really mind not understanding the lyrics when listening to Korean music–after all the language barrier is what prompted me to get invested to begin with–but every now and then there’s the odd artist that makes me wish I had allowed myself the time to study the language properly. Lang… Continue reading →

No Respect For Beauty – Why Perish

posted in Album Reviews on June 6, 2012 by Anna 0 Comments

I first learned of No Respect For Beauty about a year ago as their demo seemed to be all the rage among Hongdae musicians. Even so it took me quite a while to look them up, but when I finally did I was met by gorgeous, gorgeous post-rock. In February this year the trio released… Continue reading →
