JAMBINAI (kr)

Reading this promo might give you a feeling of deja-vu as we’ve been trying to bring these South Korean icons to the festival for years! We’re beyond thrilled to finally have them on our stages for what is already a show for the ages! JAMBINAI in fact are one of the most unique bands in the post-rock scene and an untameable force of nature! And what other word could we use to describe their music other than unique? Blending post-rock blissful climaxes and post-metal angular riffing with traditional South Korean folk  instruments including such as the piri, the haegeum, and the geomungo (or "black zither”), Jambinai are nothing short of unique! Their compositions are just as uniquely entrancing, a true feast for the ears and the soul!

A true musical journey, JAMBINAI’s music explores both sonically and emotionally, constantly pushing post-rock boundaries and reinventing itself in new and exciting forms. This sonic exploration is paired with a deep introspective character which explores themes of despair and isolation via voiceless chants and choirs. We’re repeating ourselves here, but JAMBINAI are truly a one-of-a-kind band. One that we’re extremely excited to share with you all at this year’s festival!
