New album (and MV) from Eastern Sidekick!

[jeliza]

Korea's representative garage band rockers Hankyul Ko and Inhyuk Ryu on guitar, Juhwan Oh on vocals, Sanghwan Bae on bass, and Geunchang Park on drums have finally come back with a monster album. Hard crunching guitars, aggressive baselines, and defiant vocals create a harmonious cacophony of lyric and power. Eastern Sidekick's new album, [Total Reflection], is out October 29, 2015 along with the music video of their Title track, "Digger."



Eastern Sidekick released their first full length album in 2012 and their EP, [Hammer Lane], in 2013. Now after two years, Eastern Sidekick has returned with a 10 track album that was definitely worth the wait. [Total Reflection] is an album that looks at our reality and sees it for what it really is, just a reflection of ourselves but not necessarily our true self. It also serves to be a complete rejection of society's pressure and rules, a [Total Reflection].

The title track of this album is "Digger," which is a perfect track to showcase Eastern Sidekick's style and message. Purposefully defunct with a hint of monotony, "Digger" questions why and what are we doing. Many people carry this defunct and monotonous life working day in day out, and do so just like a digger who digs only because he's a digger. It is this reflection that Eastern Sidekick sees beyond and also wants to reflect away.

Listen (and buy) the whole album at Bandcamp

Yay! I really love their sound. Pretty excited. I've been casually following their updates in facebook. I like that they translate stuff.

(Edit) Oop didn't even notice the song came out lmao. Nice!

Thanks for posting, OP! I wasn't aware that they had already released the album on Bandcamp.
My favorite tracks are Dirty Weather and Business Man.

I get notices from fluxus whenever something new goes up on bandcamp. :)

I had missed entirely that they had an mv teaser go up a couple days ago, too. I'm really liking Digger, but need more time to listen to the rest of the album (I'm still mainlining 4 walls.)
