美國麻州出生的畫家Matt Jones與釜山俏妞Jee Eun Lim於南
韓相識後一拍即合,結成了這支富含九零DIY氣息的音樂組
合,2nd專輯收錄了他們透過宅錄/iphone/錄音室等不同環境下
所錄製的奇異聲響,有如退去時尚貴氣的Thexx,與降低不安
躁動的Deerhoof一同加入K records彈著脫力感的低傳真吉他,
把玩著東方元素的D.I.Y. pop,杯底不能伺金魚,那就將這杯
韓美混種的低傳真調酒一飲而盡吧!
(text by Spazz Society)Based around the core members Matt Jones, originally from Western Massachusetts, and Busan native Jee Eun Lim, who met in Korea in 2011, The Jee Jee Band fuses simple pop structures, airy instrumentation and breathy vocals with clever lyrics, in both Korean and English, often of a satirical or political nature. Currently based in Northern California, the band quietly celebrates Korean culture while also evidencing a cosmopolitan classic pop sensibility, blending K-Pop and other Asian pop elements
with a classic and yet contemporary US/UK pop feel. The songs on Glass Fish, all very fresh-sounding, feature performers from South Korea, America, and, on one song, the Khmer-language vocals of Cambodian filmmaker Vanntey Morn. Jones’ Western Massachusetts pop roots allowed him to enlist the skills of former members of Sunburned, Sebadoh and others to help record this harming and refreshing release, sure to appeal to fans of the K Label, DIY sounds, and pure pop. Liner notes by Byron Coley.
