ONEWE are entering into the pre-release sport with Ferris Wheel (관람차), which is a style of their upcoming demo album. The phrase “demo” feels extra like branding than actuality right here, as I’m unsure songs can nonetheless be thought-about demos after they’ve been promoted with music movies and carried out on reveals. However no matter vernacular, the music extends the band’s traditional sound with the arrogance and polish you’d count on.
Ferris Wheel coasts alongside traditional Ok-pop melodies. It’s as in the event that they reached their fists right into a bin of OST hooks and pulled out a bunch to string collectively. The music has extra pep in its step than you would possibly count on and its strings components make the group sound a bit like Ok-band friends Lucy. It’s all very tasteful and good, however the music doesn’t ship something we haven’t heard one million instances elsewhere. It has a pleasant wintery sheen to it that ought to discover house on seasonal playlists and its all the time good to listen to Yonghoon’s vocal doing its factor. Past that, I can’t think about myself going again to this.
