While expecting a familiar development, the pattern of abruptly making a sudden appearance is off, and after running unpredictably, it suddenly enters a stable phase and gives us a line that sticks to our ears. Thus, in their music, the speaker and the world he belongs to are repeatedly off and merged, and I think that this is where the core of Thornapple's music lies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Their music is both a fracture and a unity. It can be said that it is music that draws pleasure from the swamp of sadness and depression. To put it a little grandly, their music sounds like it is in a permanent emergency. But they are suffering from this permanent emergency and enjoying it. Yes, it is a contradiction, an irony. As far as I know, all the fascinating stories in this world are filled with contradictions and ironies. For me, Thornapple's music is like that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The lyrics are still full of symbols. There are many cases where you have to look closely at words and sentences. However, it is not to the point where you cannot understand the meaning. I think that the basic theme of their lyrics so far has been the breakdown of communication and the anxiety of existence. There is no change in the new album \u0026lt;Enlightenment\u0026gt;. However, it seems to have become more systemized. The parts that used to seem like nonsense have completely disappeared. The following lyrics of 'As it was above, so it is below' are indeed meaningful. \"Lie down with your stomachs pressed close\/We are all your kings\/I'm finally tired\/Throw the remaining bones over there\/To the dog.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, some of the lyrics of 'February' seem to implicitly display the world of Thornapple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Turn your neck and look behind you\/There are so many things you want to forget\/Turn your body and look ahead\/There are so many things you want to do”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But there is no need to label each word. If we do, the vitality itself will disappear. The story of music is a kind of black box. It is a living organism. Depending on who touches it, different stories pop out. Nevertheless, I think we can confirm that the frustration and longing for others and the world are colliding with each other. Thornapple, specifically the musician Yoon Seong-hyun, desperately desires communication, but ends up confining himself. He stares out the window even as he devours himself. Thus, the music he creates does not reach anywhere and is lacking, and it is this lack that creates the fascination of his music. Void and completion. It is a contradiction, after all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The unique dense sound and three-dimensional song development method are quite firmly attached to the symbolic lyrics. Above all, they do not consume narrative tricks as shallow reversals or surprise parties. As mentioned earlier, Thornapple is combined while being out of sync. It is out of sync in the process of being combined. Listen to 'A Day of Mercury'. The lyrical melody appears first, and although it rushes in strongly, it draws a dramatic composition with fantastic tempo control. There is no unnatural feeling. It is thanks to the talent that knows how to exquisitely build a bridge between out of sync and combination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here's the bottom line. It has a good melody, and excellent rhythm. There are also lyrics that must have been written after much thought. These sometimes go against each other and sometimes come together, and they keep the listener going all the way to track 10. There's one more thing. I think a rock band's album should ultimately stimulate the listener's desire to see a live performance. That's one of my biggest criteria. After listening to the entire album, I wanted to see Thornapple's new songs live as soon as possible. I'm sure you will too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written by Bae Soon-tak (music critic, writer for Bae Cheol-su's Music Camp)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e[SONG CREDIT]\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 01.
