The term 'post-rock' has come to mean a certain style of instrumental guitar music, one dominated by glacier effects, lengthy build ups and occasional (but often predictable) bursts of white noise.
South Korean group Jambinai though, are post-rock in the original sense of the word. Nerve-jangling invention, the band explode any definitions placed in their path, with a cavalcade of new ideas flooding over the boundaries.
The band actually met while studying traditional music at Korea’s National University of Arts, and bonded over a shared desire to present Korean culture in a new, vivid manner.
Jambinai will release an album through Bella Union this summer, with Clash able to premiere new cut 'They Keep Silence'.
An astonishing fusion of metal riffs, dark electronics, spine-shattering tempo shifts and Korean melodics, 'They Keep Silence' is simply stunning – unlike anything else you've heard, but yet also completely accessible.
Tune in below.
