Although still residing in her native Sweden, Anna has been obsessing over Korean music in various forms for the past fifteen years. She supports her CD shopping habit by working as a verification engineer and can during her occasional visits to Seoul most likely be found in Hongdae, checking out some of the bands she writes about on her Korean indie music blog, Indieful ROK.

니나이안 (Ninaian) - For A Little Cruise

Although Underwear Band now lives on only in the memories of fans, some members continue to make music on their own. Jowall released an appreciated album early last year, and July 15 Underwear Band guitarist Park Hyun Min debuted his solo project Ninaian with the release of EP For a little cruise. All instrumental ambient, post-rock-ish music, from what I’ve gathered.

DFSB Kollective sent out a press release yesterday concerning Yoon Band/YB’s international launch of new EP YB vs RRM today, July 21. RRM is short for Risque Rhythm Machine – a DJ trio I first heard of thanks to their Dead Or Alive on last year’s We Love DJs compilation – and as the “vs.” in the title implies RRM have been remixing some YB songs.

The mini album features a couple of old YB songs in English versions alongside Victor Tsoi cover Blood Type (first recorded in Korean for YB’s 4th full length in 1999) in Russian: Группа крови (Blood Type). Read more at The Korea Herald.

An EP sampler is available on Soundcloud. Learning about it I realized that DFSB Kollective has plenty more songs available there – some really interesting ones even available for download!
