Oh snap yes I found more indie! I went a little crazy on the K indie hunting the past week thanks to Naz introducing me to Vodka Rain (I shall save them for a later date). I downloaded 8 albums.....yay?Okay. The Koxx....WHY DIDN'T I LIKE THEM EARLIER?! I've heard of them before quite a while back but I didn't really like their first ever song 'Troublemaker' so I didn't bother checking out their other stuff. Fast forward (or rewind?) to a few months back when their latest album Bon Voyage came out. I gave '사랑춤' a listen and I was like "Cooooooool!" but still didn't bother looking at their other stuff. It was not until 2 freaking days ago when I heard another song of their 'The Words' that I thought "Hey, not bad! Let's check out their other stuff!" and BAM HOLY MAMA WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT! Proceed to download all their albums.
Oh yeah before I forget, you kinda have to...learn how to deal with Hyunsong's English....It's not really Engrish but more like his pronunciation? It doesn't make the band or songs less amazing though. One way to avoid going WTF IS HE SAYING is never to search the lyrics for the songs. I'm warning you okay because I did that for one of their other songs (T.O.R.I) and I kinda cringe everytime I listen to it because I cannot stand how he was pronouncing some of the words which is such a pity because I absolutely love the bass of that song! But I got used to it so...TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
사랑춤 (Love Dance) is quite the catchy tune. I really LOOOOOOOVE the guitar in this song. The video is so irrelevant, so random and so crazy.
The Words is like a totally different side of The Koxx. It's so slow and repetitive but so beautiful. And then it hits 5.13 mark and the feel of the song just changes and omg it's just so good.
Refuse is currently my favourite. I showed this to a few non Korean music loving friends
Oh how could I not include T.O.R.I. This is the song that suffered the most from Hyunsong's pronunciation. But like I said that doesn't make this song any less awesome!
They deserve more lovinggggg really! They are really the talented bunch with Hyunsong and Sooryun (
