I no longer recall when I first came across her name in a CD booklet, but over the years I've found that if there is a song listed in connection with Jane Ha chances are it's already one of my favorites. During the last couple of years I've primarily heard her in capacity of her role as cellist in Loro's, but that's about to change. The electropop crafted by Jane Ha under the alias Pika could be heard on the 3rd Bbang Compilation, but it was not until a few weeks ago that her debut EP, Pika's Metamorphosis, was released

Who is Pika?
One of my favorite authors is Hermann Hesse, and he has a collection of fairy tales, and within these fairy tales is Piktor's Metamorphosis. It's a zen-style love story/story of trying to find wholeness and the philosophy is represented by a line from Hesse: “This is what you mean, isn't it: that the river is everywhere at the same time—at its source and at its mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the rapids, in the sea, in the mountains—everywhere, at the same time—and that for the river there is only the present, without the shadow of a future." Just wanting to be everywhere, and spread out everywhere--- Through music and through understanding people and their surroundings and reaching out and sharing pain and giving love. I feel like I am always undergoing transformations and that sometimes, I have to endure extreme amounts of pain but when it comes down to it, that's what makes me alive, and that's what makes me want to write music so that I can understand people. So that's what Pika is to me. (A mutation of Piktor, so to speak)

What is Pika's Metamorphosis?
Pika's Metamorphosis is a pun on Piktor's metamorphosis and Kafka's Metamorphosis, to be specific. In Kafka's Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa is debilitated by his own indecision to just friggin leave his home when he was a bug. I don't think that that is too easy to do anyhow--the whole existential crises. One of my biggest fears is to be a Willy Loman or incapacitated by my own doing. It's hard to be out of your own body and to see the change, because as you change, you are just as you are, and this isn't the 4th dimension and we don't exist in time to see each little step along the way.

I chose this as the title because I want to metamorphose, and I hope to change constantly, within my music. The irony is that I want to change towards being closer to who I really am. I think maybe perhaps most people live their lives, constantly adding layers upon layers of thick indecision and uncertainty and hiding themselves. This isn't a bad thing at all, especially if one really believes in it. I'm always trying to dig deeper and metamorphose into something that I was and that I had forgotten.

The music you're making as Pika seems quite different from the contexts in which you've participated in the past. How did you arrive at this destination?
The music that I write now has always been there. In fact, I met the Loro's members while I was first starting the whole Pika thing, but I put it on the backburner because I loved my members and wanted to devote all my time to working and fine-tuning music with Loro's. I have no real super huge goal with Pika and I hope that it makes a few people very content and that would just make my day. In fact, it's more like a project that I do on my own because sometimes a girl just has to sing to herself, because you yourself are the only one that really knows you, right??? hehe. In any case, I haven't really hyped it up that much or anything because it was more my own naked music, fetal position, happy, sad, what have you. I'd like it to hopefully become more easier to do concerts (this recent concert was quite stressful).

Do you have any plans to promote your music in the US, or in any other countries?
About promotions...I am awful at it. I would like to play in the States or anywhere for that matter. My dream is to find some people to heal together with.

---

The recent concert in question would be the EP release show that can be watched on YouTube: 1 2 3 4. Although I have yet to hear the full debut EP from Pika, Pika's Metamorphosis, myself what has reached my ears has sounded like a more accessible itta - easy to like, but constantly interesting.

Very sorry about the recent lack of updates here! I'm currently in Korea and thought I had scheduled a post explaining that, but apparently it was left in a draft state. Anyhow, while I'm here I'll try to put the occasional travel related update on Twitter or Facebook and I have a couple of interviews scheduled to be posted while I'm away, but with a busy schedule I'm afraid updates here may be kinda slow for the next few weeks.

However I feel like it's been far too long since there was any kind of CD giveaway going on here last time and that of course needs to be changed.

Here at Indieful ROK we keep track of three charts: Bugs' indie music chart, Hyang Music's album sales chart, and Indieful ROK's last.fm unique artists chart (that I have been keeping track of, although I haven't actually posted here in favor of other more news worthy items). However it may be difficult to distinguish between them when posted, so I would like to have one icon to go with each to make them easily recognizable. Problem is I'm really horrible with making graphics (I made the blog header in Paint, altering a font I thought looked kinda cool) so I need some help.

Here's how it goes: Make one or more sets of icons (one for each chart category) and send them to indiefulrok@gmail.com before 11:59PM (GMT) on November 4. I will select a winner that gets to pick a CD from any of the Hyang Music charts posted until then. Every entry - more than one per person is perfectly allowed - will also warrant a place in a draw with the possibility to win one or more CDs more or less selected by me after I figure out what kind of music you prefer (I have a set of extras from the last two trips that for various circumstances I've not been able to give away through Indieful ROK just yet). Have fun & good luck!

Colorful and newlywed experimental duo 10 is just about to launch a European tour. Though all dates for the full tour have yet to be announced, confirmed dates in Belgium, Germany, Italy, UK, and Ireland were published on Facebook yesterday: 10 EU TOUR 2010. As previously asked on Twitter the two are still looking for a place to stay in London about a month from now, so do get in touch with them if you can help out.

It seems the Global Battle Of The Bands are looking for somebody to organize the Korean segment of this rock band competition. If interested, you can find some contact info in a comment on the Indieful ROK facebook page (if that doesn't show let me know and I'll forward the email address).

Thanks to an update tonight on the Pastel Music blog I realized something I should've probably known long ago: Yozoh has taken on acting and is starring in a movie called Come, Closer (조금만 더 가까이). It'll open at the Sangsang Madang move theater on October 28.

Here are some links I've come across recently:

If you've been looking for an alternative to Soompi's k-underground subforum, then perhaps KUMM: Korean Underground Music Movement is a place for you.


Hoover of music industry blog New Rockstar Philosophy has been spending some time in Seoul and among other things met up with indie rock band Phonebooth: A Glimpse Into The South Korean Indie Music Scene


Chris Park has reviewed a couple of recent releases:
- 한희정 (Han Heejeong) – 잔혹한 여행 Review
- Super Kidd – 멋지다 슈퍼키드 Review


refresh_daemon has had a listen to the first full length albums from Cocoon Bells, Sogyumo Acacia Band, and Taru:

- Replay: 소규모 아카시아 밴드 - 소규모 아카시아 밴드

Today, October 18, female fronted pop/rock act Island City released its first self-titled full length album. With a couple of EPs behind them, the first album consists of two parts with the first one having an Independent theme, and the second on the comforting theme of Cure Myself. From what I can tell no old songs have been reused, but it seems like 별이 빛나는 날 (starry day) from the God of Study soundtrack has gotten a counterpart in 별이 빛나는 밤 (starry night). Delispice's Kim Min Kyu (aka sweetpea) has produced album main track 다시 돌아갈 수 없어.

Esthero got some nice shots of the band earlier this month: 아일랜드 시티(Island City) 101003 춘천 플레이 그라운드

Wonhyoro 1-ga 13-25 isn't merely the location for Concert in The House, now it is also the name of a project band with members Dong-kyu, Jin-chun, and Eun-huul that usually make up the main attraction for those events. On September 13 the project band presented its self-released and self-titled debut album, for which Hyang Music offers a few samples. Check out the album teaser here.

Of course with a long running concert series that has been filmed, most of the songs on the album can also be sampled via YouTube (please beware that vocalist and arrangement may not be the same on the album):
1. 원효로 1가 13-25 (Concert in The House 8)
3. Trust you (Concert in The House 6)
4. 오랜 친구와 함께 (Concert in The House 6)
5. 봄의 이야기 (Concert in The House 8)
6. 삼청동 카페 (Concert in The House 5)
7. You (Concert in The House 5)
8. 아마도 (Concert in The House 4)
9. 그렇게 나뉘어진 밤 (Concert in The House ?)
10. 원효로 1가 13-25 Hiphop Version (Concert in The House 8)

Sweet pop sixtet Strawberry Rain debuted with a self-titled album on October 12. Most of the members appear to have been active as session musicians, including one of the vocalists, Lee Woo Jin, that on occasion has been heard in the chorus behind Joe Won Sun. The official blog offers a chance to hear some of their music, as well as watch the music video for album main track Don't Cry.

After a few busy days, somewhat late here is a new edition of the Music Alliance Pact! An unusually good edition at that, so even if you don't usually do so I'd strongly recommend going for the full zip file this time. This marks the 2nd anniversary since The Pop Cop started this international initiative where music bloggers world wide share their favorite pick from their region each month. This month sees the music blog of UK's The Guardian step in as the representative for England.

Korean artist of the month is melancholic singer/songwriter Go-yo, that released his first full length album a couple of months ago. Do give the triphop oriented The Blue Devil a listen, but don't forget to also check out his lovely piano pieces. To learn more about him, check out Indieful ROK's mini interview.

Hamacas Al Rio - Sin Decir
Hamacas Al Rio is a six-piece acoustic pop band led by singer Laura Ciuffo. Sin Decir is one of our favorite tracks from their latest release, Al Final, El Parque, an amazing album dominated by hypnotic chamber music sounds and fine string arrangements, along with more conventional synthesizers and electric guitars.

AUSTRALIA: Who The Bloody Hell Are They?
Bleeding Knees Club - Bad Guys
Bleeding Knees Club only started in March and have already toured Australia's east coast a bunch of times, recorded an EP and secured a label and distribution. Admittedly, BKC trade in a certain brand of music that doesn't require/intentionally avoids precision, planning and cleanliness. Even though you can imagine these guys bashing out an EP within the amount of time it takes some bands to soundcheck, it still suggests potential radness in the near future.

BRAZIL: Meio Desligado
Baiana System - Jah Jah Revolta
Baiana System is a new group from Bahia, a Brazilian state famous for its axé music - a style marked by lyrics full of ambiguous sexual overtones and simple dance rhythms. Their trump card is to raise the Bahian guitar to a new level, combining a typically Brazilian musical manifestation to elements of dub, contemporary electronic, rock and other genres, as observed in Jah Jah Revolta.

CANADA: I(Heart)Music
The Wilderness Of Manitoba - Sea Song
To fully appreciate The Wilderness Of Manitoba, you need to be in a calm, relaxed mood. So sit back. Clear your mind. Forget your worries for a moment. Ignore the phone, the internet, your pets, everything. Now start Sea Song and just let the gorgeous vocal harmonies and beautiful folky melodies wash over you. Wasn't that pleasant? Now go and get a copy of their first full-length, When You Left The Fire, because it has 12 more tracks just like that one.

CHILE: Super 45
Dadalú - Gracias
Dadalú's (Daniela Saldías) first steps in music were linked to the punk and hardcore scene. Later, she refined her ideas, got closer to hip-hop and took part in Colectivo Etéreo, Iris and Julia Rose. However, her solo work is strongly influenced by Phil Spector and Mark Ronson's orchestrated pop. Gracias, the first single from her forthcoming debut album Período, to be released by netlabels Ponk and Michita Rex, is the best proof that differences between punk, rap and pop are dwindling.

CHINA: Wooozy
Sun Ye - Strange Planet
With projects in rock, punk and post-rock bands under his belt, Shanghai-based Sun Ye is nowhere near finished with whatever he has planned for his music - fluid, dreamlike melodies that tinkle and slide smoothly in and out of your ears. His unpredictable yet continually enthralling tunes have landed him support slots for both Ólafur Arnalds and Émilie Simon this year. His latest album, Trash Can, was released on the Miniless label.

DENMARK: All Scandinavian
The Malpractice - Boss Stallion
October 25 will see the release of The Malpractice aka Johannes Gammelby's (I Am Bones, Beta Satan) solo debut Tectonics on Crunchy Frog, an 11-song strong album of alternative rock aiming at minds, (pop) hearts and feet. Here's the great Boss Stallion and if you dig it, make sure to check out the other album single Oh, The Irony streaming on MySpace.

ENGLAND: The Guardian Music Blog
The Visitors - Hello Moon
Visitors frontman Karl Walsh used to head Factory Records folkies To Hell With Burgundy. The official bio says he has spent the time since the label's demise "writing novels in the French countryside". Hello Moon says different. It speaks of years spent orbiting Bowie's legacy, drifting on the dark side of the Duke before taking a quantum leap into Wayne Coyne's shoes. More years spent Waitin' For A Superman to spin earth backwards, to rewind to a time when we were still wide-eyed about space, glam rock and the power of a good, solid tune.

ESTONIA: Popop
Tallinn Daggers - Island Phi Ley
Tallinn Daggers is an electronic pop duo from Tallinn that consists of Ardo Kivi and Joosep Volk. Since they united in 2009 they have released one digital EP, The Last Escape, and a handful of singles. They are known for their very energetic live shows and listener-friendly habit of giving away their music.

FINLAND: Glue
Big Wave Riders - Big Sound
Formed just before the summer, Big Wave Riders aim to be the next big thing in Finnish indie music. While they ready their debut EP, we can enjoy a taste of their first recordings with Big Sound's fast tropical beat and early 80s garage vibe.

FRANCE: ZikNation
Hutchinson - Oh My Lover
Hutchinson is an electro-rock duo featuring Olivier Deniaud and Eric Tanguy, who make their music in the very creative city of Nantes. It's a hobby that doesn't stop them being rather good. You might have had a hard time guessing they were French.

GERMANY: Blogpartei
MIT - Pudong
German band of the moment is definitely MIT. With the advanced electronica of their second album Nanonotes, which was produced by Simian Mobile Disco member Jas Shaw, and especially with the video to Pudong, they have hit the spot in Germany's blogosphere. MIT may rightly be seen as a concept for taking Kraftwerk's legacy into the future.

GREECE: Mouxlaloulouda
go.quiet - Everyone I Ever Met
go.quiet is the project of Christina Kassesian and ?ousework. Everyone I Ever Met, the primary result of their collaboration, is soothing, compelling, heartbreaking, mysterious and gloomy. An enticing dip into melancholy that urges you to lean closer to the speakers to fully feel everything that is being played and sung. There's a beauty in the melody that conjures up a cinematic romanticism with the soft-spoken, whispered, gentle vocals to amplify this emotion.

ICELAND: I Love Icelandic Music
Captain Fufanu - Lava
Captain Fufanu are two youngsters and probably the brightest hope of the Icelandic electronic music scene. Hrafnkell Flóki Einarsson and Guðlaugur Halldór Einarsson (sons of a different Einar, so not brothers) aka Kaktus and Gulli played their first gig at the age of 16 in 2008. The duo mix dub, techno, house and experimental electronica. The song Lava is unreleased.

INDIA: Indiecision
Kaav - Daya
Kaav is an alt-prog trio from Kochi. The band's expansive, instrumental soundscapes are based in an understanding of local Carnatic music, with the trappings of a more alternative Oceansize - think a dosa-eating Explosions In The Sky. Daya is taken from a recently-released eponymous three-track EP, which we highly recommend you download here for free.

INDONESIA: Deathrockstar
Ghaust - Sleep And Release
With only two members, Ghaust, who hail from Jakarta, build an instrumental trip crossing through different genres, where post-rock/shoegaze influences and crushing sludge/doom tempo collide with hardcore punk and heavy rock. Sleep And Release explores a cumulative void, expressing emotions that can only be conveyed with music.

IRELAND: Nialler9
Sacred Animals - Chosen Seed
Sacred Animals is a solo project of Darragh Nolan. His debut release is the lush four-track EP Welcome Home and serves as a perfect introduction to his fanciful and feral, wild like nature ballads. The music recalls Radiohead, Bon Iver and Guillemots without ever really sounding too much like any of them.

ISRAEL: Metal Israel
ACE And The Deck - Mr. Grieves (Pixies cover)
ACE And The Deck take the Pixies' Mr. Grieves, stir it up with reggae, shake it up with psychobilly, throw in some surf punk and cut it with a generous helping of arak. Their debut album is a veritable musical arsenal taking the best from all genres, and hits the market on December 13.

ITALY: Polaroid
Havah - The Competition Dies
Michele Camorani was a member of La Quiete, one of the most important screamo hardcore bands of the past decade. This is his new solo project, and the sound is very different. Imagine a Blank Dogs song locked up in a dark basement all alone for 20 years - that's how obscure and cursed Havah's music can be. Sometimes, suddenly, pop melodies come to the surface, but soon they're buried into the noise once again. It's definitely worth downloading Havah's first album for free via his MySpace.

JAPAN: JPOP Lover
Hotel Mexico - Its Twinkle
Hotel Mexico are not from Mexico, but are a glo-fi and chill electro band hailing from Kyoto. Its Twinkle is taken from the recently released His Jewelled Letter Box EP and is full of radiant guitar melodies, ambient bells, airy synths and more reverb than any respectable song has the right to use.

MEXICO: Red Bull PanameriKa
Hello Seahorse! - Un Año Quebrado
Once a twee-pop band, Mexico City's Hello Seahorse! morphed into a gloomy sounding beast on their third album, Bestia. Now they've delved deeper into their tormented souls and came out with their fourth album in four years, Lejos. No Tan Lejos. Produced by the legendary Money Mark in Los Angeles and by local wizard Yamil Rezc, the 11 songs lay a rich forest of synths where Lo Blondo's banshee-like voice soars with operatic tropes. Say "Hola!" to this seamonster.

NETHERLANDS: Unfold Amsterdam
Space Siren - This Radar
Amsterdam quartet Space Siren have strong indie-rock pedigree behind them. Featuring members who previously made up the noisy, melancholic band Seesaw, who released a number of great albums on the reliable Transformed Dreams label early in the 2000s, Space Siren carry the torch on wonderfully. Thick layers of guitar distortion hark back to an era when Sonic Youth ruled the independent underground. The percussion drives every song. And, somehow, amidst the haze of overdrive, there's room for the strong, moody vocals of Gwendolien.

NEW ZEALAND: Counting The Beat
Secret Knives - The Northwest States
Secret Knives is the solo bedroom recording project of Ash Smith, who also plays in Over The Atlantic. The Northwest States begins with a pop melody and lyrics about lost love over programmed beats and a nice rumbling bass line. Then the layers of guitar start to build until the song soars into a shimmering shoegaze crescendo. The song is from Secret Knives' new album Affection, available for free download from here.

NORWAY: Eardrums
Dunderhonning - Støv
Dunderhonning is a young quartet from Harstad in the north of Norway. They have just released their debut full-length album on Guano Recordings, Sakte Ut Av Fokus, where they play warm, poetic, dreamy and powerful pop/rock. They sing in their native language and dialect, which suits the songs and their expression well. People who have heard and loved the music of Kråkesølv may find these two close to each other in style. Their album is high on my list of the best Norwegian albums this year. Highly recommended.

PERU: SoTB
LongPlayer - Chica A Go-Go
It's time to welcome the debut of LongPlayer, a powerful quartet that formed in Lima in 2009 and is led by experienced Pipe Villarán. Their first single, Chica A Go-Go, carries a pleasant melancholy and is full of crunchy guitars and surprise trumpet appearances. Their self-titled debut album, which comes out on October 21, promises to deliver a classic rock lesson and will undoubtedly be one of the best of the year.

PORTUGAL: Posso Ouvir Um Disco?
Noiserv - 06:00am - Mr. Carousel
Since his first presence in MAP a year ago, Noiserv (aka David Santos) has played internationally, recently in Scotland and Slovenia, and has shared the stage with Bill Callahan, Camera Obscura, Damon & Naomi, Perry Blake and The Swell among others. In July, he released a new EP, A Day In The Day Of The Days - a musical diary of one fictional day.

ROMANIA: Babylon Noise
Minus - Hasdeu
Minus is Daniel Stanciu, a young man from Bucharest who combines massive mountains of bass with glitchy, twinkling Game Boy melodies and a healthy dose of synth funk. The EP from which Hasdeu was taken can be listen to and downloaded on Minus' page at Local Records.

SCOTLAND: The Pop Cop
Bear Bones - Oil & Lacquer
Islay-born singer Ben Harrison's thick brogue and some inspired bursts of accordion make eight-strong Bear Bones an unmistakably Scottish proposition and Oil & Lacquer a heavenly way to spend four minutes. Fans of Belle & Sebastian won't be disappointed. Since it's exactly two years since the Music Alliance Pact was launched, as a bonus you can also download a free anniversary compilation here which contains mostly exclusive and rare tracks contributed by 23 previous MAP artists from Scotland.

SINGAPORE: I'm Waking Up To...
Typewriter - Cry So Well (The Suntan Mix)
Ten years and three line-up changes later, Typewriter have finally released their labor of love, Indian Head Massage. Their debut album is chock full of well-crafted power-pop tunes and guitar riffs, whimsical lyrics and one of the most dynamic rhythm sections in the country. As a live four-piece, Typewriter shed all inhibitions to deliver a spine-tingling dose of forgotten melodies to awaken the senses, but on record they take the time to flesh out the minute details that make each song stand out.

SOUTH AFRICA: Musical Mover & Shaker!
Goldfish - Fort Knox
Hailing from Cape Town, Goldfish is made up of Dominic Peters and David Poole, who are one of the hottest jazz/electro duos this side of the equator. A mix of "funky riffs, acid jazz melodies and instantly catchy dance floor songs" is what they are about and Fort Knox is the epitome of their unique sound. This duo have made their mark in the dance scene and world domination is in sight.

SOUTH KOREA: Indieful ROK
Go-yo - The Blue Devil
Singer-songwriter Go-yo writes songs about cynical self-consolation. After debuting with a self-titled single offering lo-fi piano pieces last year, he has begun a venture into the realm of trip-hop and electronica with the recent release of first full-length album I Came Alone. While songs such as Let The Little Bird Fly maintains Go-yo's original, melancholic piano sound, The Blue Devil creates an atmosphere similar to that built by Air's score for The Virgin Suicides.

SWEDEN: Swedesplease
Mother Of The Forest - Bränna Broar
This suddenly prolific artist has just released another EP, this time with guests such as Mattias Alkberg and Magnus Ekelund. Vocals are processed and distant in the mix, adding to both the spookiness of the tracks and the prominence of the staccato electronic bursts that punctuate and enliven each song.

SWITZERLAND: 78s
The Legendary Lightness - Airplane
The Legendary Lightness is the side-project of the two drummers from Swiss indie outfits Schnitzer and Gabardine. The singer-songwriter duo hail from Zurich and has just released a splendid single called Airplane. It's an airy piece of music, providing you with the musical layer for daydreaming. Airplane will be featured on an EP which will be sold at concerts and is limited to 100 copies. Their debut album is scheduled for release this winter.

UNITED STATES: I Guess I'm Floating
Twin Shadow - Yellow Balloon
The description for this artist should be short and sweet: spin the track, buy the album and become very happy. Twin Shadow, the one-man project of Brooklynite George Lewis Jr, is full of smooth synths, dark vocals and compositions operating under the influence of 1980s music but not cheaply ripping it off like loads of chillwave acts. Simplicity and melody merge seamlessly in Yellow Balloon, like many of the tracks on debut LP Forget.

VENEZUELA: Barquisimento
Los Mentas - El Kiosko
Los Mentas is a rockabilly band with a new and nostalgic proposal and a strong dose of punk-rock flavor. Other influences like tango and swing can also be found in their work. Richard "Chicha" Blanco, Carlos Aray, Hector "Lukas" Paredes and Juan Olmedillo are Los Mentas, and El Kiosko is included on their debut album.

Indieful ROK favorites have been doing well on Bugs lately!

The 14 track strong tracklist includes a hidden track and a Fanny Fink remix of Your Song, the main track off last year's Your Songs EP. Of further interest is a song called 나의 하루 나의 밤 featuring My Aunt Mary vocalist Thomas Cook and 놓아줘, where former Roller Coaster vocalist Joe Won Sun participates.

Following a digital single, 연가시, last year and first EP 33060 released end of April this year, modern rock band Hlin returned with a second EP called Remanent on October 7. Highly recommended music for any Nell fan!
