Album lore

wave to earth’s 2023 debut, 0.1 flaws and all., arrives via WAVY with fourteen tracks split across two distinct sides. Vocalist and producer Daniel Kim crafts an album that veers from bright indie pop and rock on Side A to jazz-tinged, somber reflections on Side B. The former explores themes of happiness and affection, with songs like “bad,” “peach eyes,” and “love.” recounting moments of intimacy and the complexities of relationships beyond romance, touching on friendships and family ties.Side B shifts tone, weaving darker, jazz-inflected textures into meditations on love and longing. “homesick” stands out as a narrative of displacement and yearning for comfort amid personal striving. The featured track “dried flower” exemplifies this mood, balancing melancholy with subtle melodic warmth. The album’s blend of K-indie sensibilities with neo-psychedelic and R&B inflections situates it within a growing canon of Korean indie music that values both emotional nuance and compositional craft.
