“Leenalchi has changed the way I think about music, dancing and Korea. I have never heard anything quite like this.”

There’s so much to tell you about this amazing band—but what will get you to listen?

Is it that they play futuristic psych pop? Or that they sound like animals talking to each other overtripped out bass lines?

They have a new single out today called HERE COMES THAT CROW, which like all of Leenalchi’s songs, is a chopped and screwed version of a pansori tale (a traditional style of storytelling that dates back to the Joseon Dynasty in the 17th century). Taken from a story about the Chinese warlord Cao Cao, the song is an allegory about life’s precariousness.

Here’s a poem the band wrote to help you interperet the song's many meanings:

Doyung doyung goes the small boat floating down the river. Whether the chased or the chaser, no one can stop—just beneath the boards lies the underworld!

도용도용은 작은 배가 물위를 떠가는 모양을 그린 말이다. 조조도 조자룡도 쫓기는 자도 쫓는 자도 멈출수는 없다. 판자때기 아래가 저승인데 어느 누가 멈춰 설 수 있겠는가!
