San Ul Lim – 2


This is top notch psychedelia from a Korean trio who gets the job done: fuzzed out guitar, deep bass, tight drums, organ that never goes wrong, and singing that is absolutely off the chain. The whole thing has a sparse groove with the bass and drums chugging along underneath some pretty mental guitar, and the opening track is seriously worth the price of admission alone. While South America psychedelia has gotten its due, this album reminds you that there is still so much out there to be discovered. Highly recommended. (edited by hcrink)

    Hey, its San Ul Lim, and its not a dude, its the name of the band. First 3 LPs are the ones to check for.

    You know, when I pick up albums I check ’em out on the interwad. It works most times. For instance, I found out that your trio was really a quartet. The sister is playing keyboards but never received credit on their lp’s. Great find! That is all.
