Published Apr 22, 2021 8 The splendor of Seoul's nightlife is vividly evoked on "Bounce." But this is, thankfully, not the Seoul that some Western listeners might expect to find. The second single from Toronto producer Korea Town Acid's latest album, Metamorphosis, "Bounce" sizzles with reverberating bass, shudders from abrasive key notes, and reels from featured British-Korean rapper Pianwooo's careening bars. Those edgier elements are joltingly contrasted with melodic synth spurts. The music video follows suit with shots of the South Korean capital's shimmering skyline, juxtaposed with cybergothic scenes. "Bounce," like much of Metamorphosis, is far removed from the posher K-Pop or 88Rising trap sweeping the international mainstream. Instead, these 10 tracks beckon the uninitiated into the Asian diaspora's endlessly innovatively underground.
