개화 (Blossom) - Parannoul (2023)
마법이 사라져도
새로운 꿈이 기다려
끝나지 않았어
우리의 기나긴 여행
Even if the magic disappears
A new dream awaits
It's not over
Our long journey

파란노을 (Parannoul) - After The Night
I've been following the anonymous Korean musician known as Parannoul since he released To See The Next Part Of The Dream in 2021. His music blends shoegaze emo and post rock in such a natural way that I now understand how my husband is always getting them mixed up.
After The Night is a live album and holy shit does that format suit Parannoul's sound. The extra haziness and the occasional crowd sounds adds an incredible atmosphere and the lower production is honestly great. The constant alarm clock motif that tends to signal song changes also adds to the dreamlike atmosphere, as if we are meant to be waking up from a dream after each track only to fall back into a new one.
Now if you took just the first seven tracks then you'd be looking at a masterful live album that is a welcome addition to the Parannoul library. But then there's the final track. A 46 minute rendition of Into The Endless Night. I'm already the kind of person to go ham over an extremely long song, but Into The Endless Night still caught me by surprise. It builds and builds, crescendoing like many a post rock track but with the ebb and flow and fuzz of shoegaze. It builds ominously into chaotic fervor and then falls back into a sad delicate lull. There is a segment in the middle where the music drops to barely a murmur and then voices come in expressing their hopes and dreams for the future. It is haunting. This song alone would make for an unbelievable live album. The fact that we get the whole package is amazing. After The Night is probably.what I'm gonna be measuring modern live albums against for the time being.

Favorite Albums of 2023
Here they are! The albums that got me through 2023. As someone with an incurable degenerative illness, music is a lifeline for me. In another lifetime, I worked in the music industry. Once a year, I still work at the merch table for Letters to Cleo at their Boston “Homecoming” shows. The rest of the time, you can find me listening to these records with a cat on my lap.
If you find yourself…
