You & The Parting – You

This 1975 LP was released on the Korean label Jigu (Earth) and is an example from the poppier side of Korean psych (or vice versa). There are three really strong uptempo tracks and the others tend to be a bit too light and pop based or just too slow. The bass playing is pretty solid throughout and the guitarist has a nice jazzy touch at times, but unfortunately no fuzz. Not solid the whole way through but the few strong tracks may make this worthwhile if you’re interested in the style.

The best track for me is this one titled “Yearning”
