Favorite 2022 Korean Album Releases
khamat — hunjiya
this album is sonically so so beautiful! the r&b-pop hybrid is trendy (which can be a strength and a weakness) but this album has amazing build up that i cannot ignore. the narrative of zillennial’s blustery self-assuredness with the tracks all in capital letters - ending with last month’s rent in lowercase as the dawning realization of adulthood and growing out of friends and your childhood home. yeah...i’ll drink to that. the best engineered album of the year.
neap paradise — shin hae gyeong
one of my faveeee rock releases of the year. the arrangement of this album is so pleasing as you delve longer and longer in its psychedelic soundscape. it’s also a little reminiscent of korean indie sounds in the early 2010s which mayhaps colored my bias to this album. in addition, there are sooo many individual hooks across this album: when the guitar solo ripssss in Vandalism? the toy laugh at the end of Kaleidoscope? the descending chords in My Chronos? *chefs kiss*
piece of space — kaiavant
this album is soooo sexy...like how can you make marimba in the opening track sound alluring? she did it though! speaking about a shattered, unstable relationship, this alt-r&b is splendidly built and shows so much potential for kaiavant. the track woo hoo (feat. kid milli) is a star. if you’re a fan of bibi’s sound, do check her out!
evergray — jiwoo
his previous album ‘esprit’ got him on my to watch list and he delivered this year!! moody, introspective, and downbeat, this album is wonderful for those searching for a slow night and jiwoo’s voice perfectly emulates the toxicity of lust, love, and breakups. like a dark curtain of rain, it ensconced you in the melodrama if you let it.
nameless things — xeuda
decided to check this album since it was co-produced by cacophony and it didn’t disappoint! if you decide to listen to this album in one sitting, it’s so artful at how it slowly unravels from being defensive in sharing to you the true nature of its artist (her anxiety) and slowly opens up to a crescendo of a frenzy and ends like a grey cast in the aftermath of a storm.
life goes on — orange flavored cigarettes
might be a ~vibey entry to the list but the funk production flares (the underwater effect in kontrast, the reverb in that’s all i want) makes it distinct against its similar bands. this was in constant rotation for the summer for the slow summer nights with its ambient vocals. highly rec check out their other 2022 singles, especially noah.
a.k.a YAYA — yaya kim
this is an insaneeeee album from start to finish. with 33 tracks (yes that’s right!!!!), this album is indulgent, effusive, and operatic in its splendor. it’s magnificent, dark, and seductive which completely matches yaya kim’s husky voice. a concept album for a noir film that doesn’t exist, if you will. from the opening track, it asks you to let down your apprehension and enjoy the velvet-textured, wonderfully performed ride to its completion.
damage — kim doeon
i do love me some experimental albums and this album introduced me to the delightful name of the genre ‘folktronica’. while it’s more ambient than what i prefer, i’ve had this album on replay to able to parse something new with each listen. it’s soooo funky, fresh, and pleasant and it’s production is very evocative of a charming indie pixel game. Green Screen is my fave track of the year.
ㅠㅠ — gonggonggoo009
when this album starts, it does not let up! it’s 40 mins long album and uses it expeditiously and excellently. the tracks are delightfully groovy at times, addictive in a few, and GOES HARD that you will not fatigued by the end of the runtime. and i know the man has become persona non grata (for good, good reasons) but it will be remiss not to mention the influence of kanye’s my beautiful dark twisted fantasy in this album’s production (the tracks monster, walk and polar bear are pretty obvious - and no, it’s not just because of the autotune). however, as the album goes on it does evolve to take on more of kendrick’s work (concentration is the best track imo). fave khh album of the year, don’t miss out.
♡ ♡ ♡
honorable mentions: all of ive’s singles, conch’s hurry up!, kwon eun bi’s lethality, slom’s weather report, rocket punch’s flash, bibi’s lowlife princess: noir, youha’s love you more, newjeans’ hype boy, baek yerin’s pisces, lucid fall’s voice beside guitar, dpr ian’s moodswings in to order

Hi! Could you translate jelly by NANA/19 for me? It’s a bit obscure, so the only lyric video I could find is quite blurry and can only be accessed in full quality with a Facebook account.
Thank you!
너를 보면 난 또 그 바다에
다시 잠기는 것만 같아
나를 보던 너의 그 눈빛은
꼭 한여름 밤만 같아
when i see you i feel like i'm
sinking into that sea again
the gaze that you looked at me with
is just like a midsummer night
끈적끈적 나를 당기던 너의 입술은
녹아내려 아이스크림처럼
난 너의 sweets 쉿
marshmallow 불빛
midnight highway
your sticky lips which tugged at me
they melt like ice cream
i'm your sweets, hush
marshmallow light
midnight highway
oh jelly my candy just come for me
don't let me down
oh cupcake my lover
더 다가와 날 안아줘
oh jelly my candy just come for me
don't let me down
oh cupcake my lover
come closer and hug me
알아 지겨웠지 열대야 벗어나게
해주던 건 넌데 (바람처럼)
your chocolate cookie pie
아 나 봤어 네가
삐뚤어지게 웃던 걸
왜 그래
i know it's boring, you're the one who let me
break free from the tropical night (like the wind)
your chocolate cookie pie
ah, i saw that you
were crookedly smiling
what's the matter?
oh jelly my candy just come for me
don't let me down
drive with me
oh cupcake my lover
더 다가와 날 안아줘
oh jelly my candy just come for me
don't let me down
drive with me
oh cupcake my lover
come closer and hug me
oh lolli my sweetie
내 세상에 머물러줘
fly with me
oh honey my darling
허무한 네가 난 좋아
oh lolli my sweetie
stay in my world
fly with me
oh honey my darling
i like the futile you
알아 비누방울처럼 터질 텐데
너 말곤 다 지루해
caramel처��� 숨 막히는 night
i'm dreaming paradise
너랑 있고 싶어
i know that just like a soap bubble, it will burst but
other than you, everything is boring
like caramel, a breathtaking night
i'm dreaming paradise
i want to be with you
하지만 퉁퉁 부은 내 마음
너한테 들키긴 정말 싫어
but my swollen heart
really doesn't want to be caught by you
oh jelly my candy just come for me
don't let me down
drive with me
oh cupcake my lover
더 다가와 날 안아줘
oh jelly my candy just come for me
don't let me down
drive with me
oh cupcake my lover
come closer and hug me
그래 봄처럼 너도
아무렇지 않게 지나갈 거란 건
넌 나의 마카롱 다쿠아즈 milkshake
헤엄쳐 날 숨쉬게 해줘
yeah just like spring, you too
will pass by like it's nothing
you're my macaroon dacquoise milkshake
swim and let me breathe
notes:

Nastyona & Padak; A Horror Story With A Wonderful Soundtrack
Nastyona is one of my favorite bands. Like, literally, I’ve been listening to them for years, and I was so excited when they blew up and other people got into the music because they’re an experience I truly believe everyone should get the chance to have. I can really only chalk it up to a creepy, mystified nostalgia I feel whenever I listen to the band’s music (Especially their 2008 album Another Secret).
I’ve realized in my very short time on here that people also seem to really like Padak (also known as “Swimming To Sea”). It’s a nice little CGI animated film about fish- but unlike Nemo, the entire movie serves as a gruesome analogy to capitalism. It’s done in a very in-your-face terrifying way. The fish see the open sea the entire movie, and yet, cannot reach it. They’re supposed to just sit around and wait for their eventual deaths.
A lot of people specifically like the soundtrack, which is my favorite bit- because Yona was the one who composed most of the music used in the movie. She took on the project because the director, Lee Dae-hee, had said Yona had a voice capable of capturing the gruesome theme of the movie he aimed to have when making it. Lee has an entire interview that discusses the movie- in it he talks about how he went to a sushi restaurant, in which the fish were in a tank out front and he watched them sympathetically. In his own words, “Later, it occurred to me that the fish in the restaurant can be main characters to depict human society.”
Yona took on the project in 2012, and her work for it can be found in the Composer’s OST playlist on youtube if you want to hear the sound track with her voice. (click here for the playlist)
