Here are some interesting releases I didn’t get around writing about sooner (although the post should’ve gone live during the weekend…):
On February 17 Ninano Nanda released a debut album titled, Future Pansori 우주전. After providing the “Corean voice” to I&I Djangdan’s dub & reggae blend Jang-Goon is now getting deeper into electronica. The official site offers a biography in English for those that wish to learn more about traditional Pansori and that Ninano Nanda aspires to make. Check out the album promo vid here.
From the producers behind The Moonshiners, the new rock’n'roll trio The Essence released an EP called the Door to Anywhere online on February 23 and on CD March 8. Their 60s-70s inspired sound blends garage, punk, blues and psych rock.
The alternative rock trio The Jaywalker originally formed in the 90s and re-united again a few years ago. Their first full length album after the reunion, Illusion, came out in 2010 and on March 10th their follow up album titled, 2nd was released. Here is the music video for album main track 말해.

The indie chart from Bugs covering last week contains a surprisingly high number of re-entries from older songs. I think it’s a lovely thing to see, and some of them even made the top 10.

The third full length album from ska act No.1 Korean,previously mentioned here, was finally released on March 8. The tracklist contains 11 titles in total including Rosa, which was first released on Sunny Road, the 2009 single directly preceding this album.
Indie rock guy Lee Tae Hoon debuted with an album called 감성 in 2010. On March 10 he released his second album, or album 0.2, called 기대. I haven’t managed to figure out what his music sounds like, but Lee Tae Hoon seems like a humble guy thanking the people that find his music in the album info.
Singer/songwriter Na Yoon Seong released his second EP, 2nd EP, on March 5. It follows last year’s EP debutRomantea and which has a pop/rock sound.
