August K-indie post: the chill edition

Yoon Seung Wook - Hide and Seek

iTunes
Yoon Seung Wook graces us with his golden voice again in this sweet, lullaby-esque track. He was previously featured on the roundup for his first single, "Stella."

Yoon Seung Wook - Lullaby

iTunes

Ironically, this song is actually far less lullaby-like than "Hide and Seek." It adds more electronic elements and a faster tempo that Yoon Seung Wook's voice still works well with. I LOVE this track.

Sugardonut - So What

Spotify

Sugardonut returns with a strummy, clappy guitar ditty from their album Piece of Life. This is their fourth appearance on the roundup, following their standout electronic track "Imagine, Close Your Eyes", feel-good "Magical Moments" and inventive rock video for "Beautiful Life."

So soo bin - oh i

iTunes

So Soo Bin's debut single is a relaxing R&B track that's easy to chill out to.

---

Sumin - U & I

This OST single from newcomer Sumin is has strong pop vocals and rock instrumentation that make a great combo; hopefully we'll hear more from her in the future!

---

Soul One feat. Evo - No Jam (재미없어)

This mellow, disco-inspired track has plenty of jam.

---

Livii (리비) - Luna

This electronic-based song sprinkled with video game bleeps still manages to be groovy and laid-back, and the atmospheric video is inspired partially by Sailor Moon and EGL.

Other releases this month:

Suran - "Paradise Go" M/V

Retrofunkee - Seoul album

Taylor - "Swimming Pool" audio

FYI: I'm going on vacation to Seoul for like half of September (yay!) So I'm not sure if/when there will be a roundup for next month. Hopefully I can go to some indie shows!

Listening to the first track and totally dig it. Will give Sugar Donut a go too because I liked their last release.
