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 →

Drifting Away with Apollo 18

posted in Korean Cinema Blogathon, Movie Reviews on March 6, 2012 by Anna 0 Comments

The 2012 Korean Cinema Blogathon started today, but even though Korean Indie is all about music we won’t let that stop us from participating in something as fun as a blogathon! We’ve got a whole week in front of us, taking on Korean cinema from a few different angles. Romantic melodrama Drifting Away (꼭 껴안고… Continue reading →

Lovely music from Kinzli & the kiloWatts

posted in Releases, Reviews, Reviews, Samples on August 2, 2010 by Anna 0 Comments

Last week I was approached by Kinzli – a London based singer/songwriter that has left Korea for love – as her band Kinzli & the kiloWatts has a new album out. Available already through iTunes and a few other outlets, the official date of release in the UK is set to September 6 and it’ll… Continue reading →

Teaser Interview with Noeazy

posted in Interviews, Reviews on April 13, 2010 by Anna 0 Comments

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 To My Last Breath

posted in Interviews, Reviews on February 19, 2010 by Anna 2 Comments

Music is important to me for a number of reasons – one of them being that I can use it to manipulate my mood. This is particularly useful when frustration strikes at work, which is why nowadays I always have my copy of To My Last Breath‘s first EP, It Will Be Buried On Calmness,… Continue reading →

Apollo 18’s Violet album is out!

Mini-Interview with Bomb&Tree

posted in Downloads, Interviews, Reviews, Samples on December 25, 2009 by Anna 2 Comments

After I had mentioned Bomb&Tree, I was contacted by S.E. that offered samples from the new single. I had a few listens, but it was unlike anything I usually listen to and not something I favored right away – it reminded me of the kind of indie type soul inspired music (Swedish) critics will praise… Continue reading →

Anna’s Obsessions: shiny day

posted in Anna's Obsessions on October 31, 2009 by Anna 3 Comments

When asking for suggestions on new special features for Indieful ROK, I learned that there are quite a few of you that would like some more personal input from me – such as what I’m currently obsessing over and why. Problem is I rarely know how to describe music well and often the nuances of… Continue reading →

Mini-Interview with Kite Operations

posted in Downloads, Interviews, Releases, Reviews, Samples on September 28, 2009 by Anna 3 Comments

When I first heard of Kite Operations I was pretty obsessed with just about anything Korean coming out from Pastel Music and so extremely eager to hear this new band, featured on the Korean disc of the Pastel Music 3th Anniversary Sampler. I took a liking to A Wonder as soon as I heard it,… Continue reading →

Music for the hopelessly sleepy singles with attention deficit disorder

posted in Releases, Reviews on May 10, 2009 by Anna 1 Comment

While visiting Ruby Salon‘s mall a few weeks ago I came across something very interesting: a demo album from the solo project of 조휴일, also known as Bryan Cho of The Black Skirts. The title of it is My Feet Don’t Touch The Ground (And I’m So Winded I Can’t Sing For You Today) and… Continue reading →
