“Sometimes haunting, often hilarious, always highly expressive, Leenalchi’s radical arrangements, and the inspired deliveries of the band’s five sorriggun (traditional singers) amount to one of the most impressive episodes of collective vocal music-making this reviewer has heard in years.

A seven-piece from Seoul, South Korea that draws on the folk storytelling tradition of pansori, and will remind you of the Talking Heads, Leenalchi’s post-punk, new wave, krautrock, and space disco-informed sound is as singular as their line-up, which features two bassists, drums, keys, three singers, and not a guitar in sight. The band’s creator, bassist Young Gyu Jang, is also behind several beloved horror soundtracks and the now-disbanded art band SsingSsing, whose Tiny Desk Concert performance NPR’s Bob Boilen described as “one of my most memorable of all time.”
