CHAPTER

The Importance of Electronic Music in K-Pop Music

"This feels like K-pop for a generation that's like listening to Pink Pantheris Or like listening to Shy Girl Listening to artists who are playing with sweetness and cuteness in pop music. But sort of giving it an edge or sort of roughing it around the edges a little bit" "I could not shake the feeling that things were not what they appeared to be Yeah, I mean, I think that speaks to the electronic influences on the album," he says. The new EP from Fat Boy Sharif and Steel Tip Dove is called Decay This is the song designer drugs This is the last one I've ever watched before You ever watch this show again?"

Manufactured in a lab But I found this whole EP to be completely irresistible So incredibly hooky and the little details they add

They have these little tick-tock-tock-tocks that they do It's like so ridiculously catchy But there's a vibe in the music I picked up on I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's really in there And it's almost a surreal vibe to it You know, and surreal isn't really the right word, but I'm wondering if anyone else clocked this It's like clearly fun and sweet and they can do a banger like ETA But I could not shake the feeling that things were not what they appeared to be Yeah, I mean, I think that speaks to the electronic influences on the album that Sheldon mentioned Like when I listened to new jeans and I listened to this EP I was like this feels like K-pop for a generation that's like listening to Pink Pantheris Or like listening to Shy Girl Listening to artists who are playing with sweetness and cuteness in pop music But sort of giving it an edge or sort of like, you know, sort of roughing it around the edges a little bit But you have to listen closely to hear that And I think one of these EP strengths is it's writing The artist Erica Dacassier, who's a Danish artist who makes very cheeky Electro pop music, very like, thinky pop music She's credited across a bulk of the songs on this album And I thought that was such a wild choice to bring an artist like her Into the songwriting process for a K-pop group And that to me also speaks to that high concept aspect that Sheldon was talking about earlier That they aren't just making good pop music for the sake of good pop music They're sort of getting like one level deeper and really thinking about the future Alright, that's new jeans, their new EP is called Get Up, that's out now on July 21st There's also new and not today that we're loving from Fat Boy Sharif and Steel Tip Dove You would probably call this the complete inverse sound of new jeans and have it in a completely different universe The album from Fat Boy Sharif and Steel Tip Dove is called Decay This is the song designer drugs
