Kindi Lounge presents notable albums for May. The new works, infused with the personality and emotions of each artist, are expected to stimulate the senses of listeners.
The new song "chikita!(티키타카!)" by Agenda, an artist under Stone Ship, released on the 1st, is a witty track that reflects moments passed with a smile, even amidst emotional chaos. The song, built on a lively K-POP-based alternative sound, creates a strange tension with its chilling lyrics. It expresses complex human emotions alongside a youthful sensibility, capturing Agenda's unique sentiment.
On the 2nd, the regular album "Dystopia 2025(디스토피아 2025)" by Triangle Propagation Company was released through Audiogai. "Dystopia 2025" breaks down the boundaries between experimental electronic music and folk music, sharply depicting the contradictions of contemporary Korean society. Triangle Propagation Company has been actively engaging in musical activities, including a commemorative performance for the release of "Dystopia 2025" on the 13th of last month at Space Hangang, located in Mapo District, Seoul.
The single "Blah Some (블라썸)" by MOONLIGHT, an artist under Local High Records, released on the 3rd, intricately weaves together the keywords "Blossom," "Blah Blah," and "Some" to depict the excitement and distance of early romance. Featuring soft piano, acoustic guitar, and hip-hop rhythms, the track combines rap and sweet vocals from Na-hyun, a contestant from Voice Korea, showcasing the delicate production of producer Yoo Jun-ho, who is establishing a unique sound in the hip-hop and R&B scene.
On the 6th, the sharp new song "Cream Soda(크림 소다)" by the band BenchWeLeo, also under Local High Records, was unveiled. This track infuses the refreshing indie rock sound with its unique personality, providing listeners with a revitalizing experience. The lyrical message and fresh rhythm blend to maximize BenchWeLeo's charm, captivating listeners.
Lastly, the legendary Korean heavy metal band Downhell makes a comeback with the single "死者-書 (사자의 서)" after approximately six years. After suspending activities in 2018, Downhell has joined No Mercy Company this year and restructured its members, delivering a philosophical message centered on the afterlife and human desires in this track. Notably, the song is constructed around its lyrics, marking a musical shift from their previous style.
Meanwhile, the Korea Music Label Industry Association, which operates Kindi Lounge, is currently recruiting performance venues and musicians for the small-scale popular music performance support project "2025 LaLaLaOn." Performance venues and musicians interested in participating can submit their applications along with relevant supporting documents via email by 6 p.m. on May 18 (Sunday).
