If 눈뜨고 코베인 hailed from America, 파는 물건 would be the kind of album kids would make after discovering their parents actually had a decent record collection. This album is chock full of psychadelic and class rock sounds. The bulk of the tracks on this album feature some of the best organ work this side of Deep Purple.
Aside from the band’s sound there are other classic rock aspects to this album. Though only containing 5 songs, this EP clocks in at over 26 minutes.
눈뜨고 코베인 are not simply a band hell bent on rehashing the sound of the late 60s and early 70s like some (cough cough phish cough). The band also flirts with reggae/ska on a couple tracks (그자식 사랑했네,” and “외로운 것이 외로운거지,”).
And on the outstanding track, “그대는 냉장고,” they dabble with new wave. This song also includes some of the best lyrics ever: 그대는 아이콘…추워! 추워! 추워! 추워! (That machine is an air conditioner…COLD! COLD! COLD COLD!)
The band is an extremely awesome live group, and this EP is able to capture that energy. Be sure to check it out if you can, and definately check them out if you’re ever in Seoul.
