‘Mongoo’, the frontman of the band ‘The Mongoose’ is back as a solo artist with a new EP [Summer night is the genre]. The Mongoose is recognized as a legendary indie band since they released more than 100 singles untill now, and the album [Dancing Zoo] won the ‘Best Modern Rock Album’ at the 3rd Korean Music Awards (2006). Mongoo worked as a musician and writer since 2003, and has recently worked for 2022 Paris Fashion Week - EENK and Seoul Fashion Week - VEGAN TIGER’s music director.

The song 'let's walk this universe' has the summer night vibe as the album name suggests. All 5 singles show the different faces of summer night, from the explosive universe to gentle waves. According to Mongoo's essay with the same name as the album, he wants to call his own music genre a 'summer night'.

'Ashmute', the band that mesmerizes the listeners with their unique vocals and mood, is back with a new single [Lost in the City]. 6 months has passed from release of the last single [Magnolia] that contains the spring memories. The new song perfectly matches the late summer vibe with its dreamy groove. The dreamy synth sound and flowing melodies will give you liberation while listening. The song expresses the anxiety about the uncertain future, showing the journey for discovering yourself while wandering in a concrete jungle.

‘Hoochus’, the one-man band consisting of singer-songwriter KIM JEONG WOONG, is back with a refreshing single called [Just Korean Pop]. The title is a word play on the meaning of “Gayo” which both means ‘pop song’ and ‘go’ in Korean. So it means ‘just go’ and ‘just (K)pop’ at the same time. KIM JEONG WOONG has dreamt a dream one day, and he saw a boy in a school uniform, singing with a classic guitar while sitting on a desk. He says that it seemed like himself or maybe a total stranger. KIM started to work on ‘Just Korean Pop’ with the quotes he heard in the dream, and used the term of youth and mellow drama to complete it. Enjoy the refreshing song with the movie-like music video below.

[Funny] is the second pre-release single for ‘Bearfoot in the garden’'s the full length album scheduled on October. ‘Funny’ gives a message to love yourself and to remember your childhood innocence that made you love yourself unconditionally. The positive energy that the band gives will move the adults who were living a boring and busy life, and those who have forgotten their happy times and even how to love themselves. This song will be a good example for the pop-punk resurgence shown all over the world. Add this song to your pop punk playlist right now!
