Does Native Korean Rock have anything to do with Yeah Yeah Yeahs? NO
Are these the leaked demos of years ago? NO
-Karen O.
This is making me very happy. Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeah's side project- Native Korean Rock. (Karen O's mom is Korean f.y.i.) I love her use of photographs of the Korean women divers (more on her MySpace.) I heard a very inspiring and heartbreaking broadcast once on NPR about these women, everything from the history of to current struggles. I sat in my parked car for an hour at 2 in the morning just to hear their stories. Korean women are something else. I can say this because I have one of the most incredible woman as my mother and yes, she is Korean folks.
Anyway, check out these songs. Can't wait to get my hands on them. Korean + Emo = 2 of Michelle's favorite things.
