fluttering and roaring. Yang Chang-geun’s second album [WAVE]

Free-spirited and at the same time calm song

Think of a wave. Sometimes it breaks and spreads quickly. Sometimes they calmly scatter in all directions. Although the overall shape is similar, it does not show the same appearance even once. It crumbles differently each time. It can connect or break up. There is nothing to do in every case. It is both sad and happy to think of a wave in that there is nothing to do. In an article he wrote about his new album, Changgeun wrote that he unraveled “the story of meeting and leaving a loved one, and various emotions fluctuating from looking back.” For each individual, time flows differently. Love and being are never repeated the same. Water waves are exquisite metaphors for love, existence and time.

Yang Chang-geun is a singer-songwriter who debuted in 2009 with the EP [Winter Rain]. Before and after the release of the EP, Changgeun focused on Salon Badabi.

It is often introduced that Badabi is a live club that opened in 2004 and closed in 2015. The reason Badabi insisted on adding the word it is often introduced is that it is too diverse to be simply described as a live club, ranging from indie pop in a universal form to experimental music and performances that are difficult to recognize, and sometimes literature and video. This is because it was a space where even the area of the back was put on stage. (It would not be strange if we call it multidisciplinary art. However, as multidisciplinary art that is done without being aware of it.)

Changgeun is an artist who spent the most beautiful days with Badabi. Among them, he played the most innocent and fine-grained folk song. From the EP in 2009 to the first full-length album [Old Heart] in 2014, Changgeun focused on folk songs. Changgeun’s grammar was usually simple. Play arpeggios or gentle strokes on a folk guitar. Add soft songs and lyrics. Rather than utilizing other elements, I focus my ears on the harmony or discord between the two. Chang-geun was especially loved for his lyrics that touched the universal emotions felt by people passing by in their lives. For example, songs like ‘5AM’ in [Old Heart]. I think of the person who passed by while smoking a cigarette at around 5:00 in the morning looking at the rainy street. I heard that you are in love with someone else. I also dream of meeting someone else and falling in love. dream of happiness I hope you are happy.

Chang-geun, who wanted to be happy, seems to have tried not to stay here. The ones I usually hung out with were those who played rougher or more experimental sounds. He himself has often expressed his love for rock music. It’s hard to find any surviving records, but there was a time when they briefly formed and worked as band wizards in a style that combined rock ‘n’ roll and post-rock. On the other hand, while working as a DJ through the audio platform Ratdo’s Band Music (currently named ‘Rat Banmu’), he mainly plays old Korean CM songs, nursery rhymes, and kitsch dance music from the 80s and 90s, expressing his unknown tastes. also revealed The EP [Rainy Season], which was released around this time, became a small signal that Changgeun ‘wants to expand musically’. And the second album arrived.

The first emotion I felt while listening to the new album was happiness, followed by friendship. The joy is probably because the new album prepared by an indie musician who has been there for over 10 years already has something different from the past, and the emotions of joy that naturally radiate when wearing new clothes are buried throughout the album. And the friendliness is probably because Chang-geun and Chang-geun’s charms are nowhere to be found. The reason I recited Chang-geun’s life as a musician earlier, including Badabi, is because Chang-geun’s new album felt like a kind of ‘summary compilation’. In this album, the songs Changgeun has made throughout his life, the music he has liked, and the emotions he has felt are condensed as a whole.

It’s a summary, but it’s not roomy. rather economical. In an article about the new album, Changgeun writes that it contains various styles and sounds such as guitar pop, modern rock, folk rock, synth pop, and post-rock. It is used only as ‘material’ in the album. Rather, in essence, this album is closer to ‘pop’ and ‘pop.’ It converges with good music. Songs and lyrics that anyone can like, this has been the biggest gist of Changgeun’s charm from the beginning to the present. [WAVE] is free-spirited and calm at the same time.

A total of eight songs were included. The three songs that focus on playing are in charge of the intro, outro, and bridge in the middle, respectively. The five songs that focus on singing are gayo. Various feelings about love Im singing the long long night. I am coming to you after a long long night. It is written in lyrics such as Dance with me in it on a rainy and windy day. There is a clear and easy-to-sing hook. These eight songs come together to form a loose community. If you listen while imagining the image of a wave, you will have different emotions. will come to

This is an album that many people participated in like never before. Silica Gel, who is active as a producer, and Kim Chun-chu of Playbook contributed to the overall picture of the album. Notable artists such as Samu and Yoo Ji-mong helped arrange the song. There are many people who helped with performance and technical parts. It is announced under Yang Chang-geun’s name, but on the other hand, it is also a joint result. What is the biggest difference between [WAVE] and Changgeun’s past works? I want to write ‘being together’. Just as waves can’t help but get entangled with each other, in [WAVE], Chang-geun is with his friends and colleagues. In 2021, the 2020s of Yang Chang-geun, a middle-aged indie musician who has been in his 12th year of debut, begins with ‘together’.
