K-Rock [MV] Thornapple - Strange Tropics

[cotxpaxi.livejournal.com]

On June 12th, Thornapple will release their long awaited 2nd album, (이상기후) Abnormal Climate. This is the M/V for title track (낯선 열대) Strange Tropics.

I’m bad with assigning genres but Thornapple is Alternative Rock? There are psychedelic influences that are apparent in some songs more than others and I swear I hear some traditional korean musical influences too. Thornapple’s music is sensitive, atmospheric, melodic, emotive, explosive, experimental, and if you give them a listen some different words may come to mind.


If you think Thornapple sounds good in studio recordings, let me tell you that they sound even better live. (I've never caught them live in Hongdae, but there's plenty of HD front-row fancams on Youtube, yay.) Yoon Seonghyun is ridiculously talented. His extremely flamboyant and raw stage mannerisms coupled with his expressive vocal delivery take the performances above and beyond.

Totally into that weird eye thing he does.

Yasssss! \o/ I got into Thornapple a few months ago when I started investigating K-indie. Thanks OP!

Same and they've been in heavy rotation ever since! I cannot believe I never stumbled upon them before. I would have loved to see them live when I was in seoul :'((( So much gratitude for the fans that upload full sets on youtube.

I've spent days just mainlining their lives, so good.

Also, their cover of f(x)'s Pinocchio because I am fascinated by it:

I was gonna include that too but I didn't want to make the post too heavy~

You know at first I didn't like this cover since it's different than their regular sound. But when I think about how they managed to twist f(x)'s Danger into a psychedelic and dark tune, it works, it's hot.

PS: Do you like Romantic Punch? Cuz I don't :(

I really like Thornapple. I remember when I first found 이유 I made a big fuss and started bombarding my friends with their fancams xDD
