We are k-goth band past self

We play ethereal post punk, take aesthetic cues from visual kei, and sing in korean/english. We call this genre “k-goth”.

.

Our topics include esotericism, romantic tales of love and loss, isolation.

Listen to our newest k-goth song called “귀신 / Gwisin” from our “Premonitions EP”. It is about a Korean shaman (mudang) who channels spirits to predict impending calamities of the world and the irresponsibility of the people in power who look away.
