Very contemplative music that sooths at the same time. These songs would be great to listen to on the to and from hour train rides from school. Stop thinking about maximising future career choices and just stop to appreciate everything that is around us type of music.

My lonely disc man which is sitting next to my now much too frequently used ipod would sure love to play some new tunes! It was quite a surprise to find out that you were giving away some freebies! I love the songs that you put up although not all of them are to my style. You've just recently gotten me listening to Monday Kiz songs cause of their song from your earlier post.

good luck people!
may the best postee win

ever since u post 'way to home' .. i cant stop listening to their songs..
try to find their cd here in oz (frm those korean shops) to no avail...

THanks for the reviews... as theres not really that many articles on oldfish with english at least.. ~^^

First time hearing their songs and I love it already! I hope to hear more from them! and I would like to enter also :D

makes me feel giddy and bouncy >

Oh Wow! This is awesome :)

pick me! pick me!!!!

hey javabeans! i totally agree to what nr. 24 "Amy" says, plus: i like the mix of the guittar and the synthesized sound. their music remind me of lazy sunday mornings, really relaxing :) and some tracks could even be quite "dance-able" (if mixed correctly). i think you posted the track "way to home" previously in some older posts? really like it!

this is really nice music!! calming with a lot of beats at the same time!

Love Oldfish - ever since I started reading your blog I've been listening to a lot of new music. Your site is a lot better than most music blogs I usually visit because you change it up a lot. Anywho, cool idea, hope this new thing works out well for you and doesn't become stressful or anything.

I think my favorite track already is "lets go together". It's kind of sad, with a tinge of regret and hopefulness. Times like these I wish I knew Korean... any chance you'd be posting
English lyrics?

i wanna cd. I like to hear different type of music because it fits my mood. Im up for anything. Give me CD please *^_^*

hey, they're not bad.

I do like Oldfish's sound, and I love Indie. Thanks for introducing us to an Indie Korean singer! Keep up the good work :)

Sounds pretty good!

Hi Javabeans! oooohh contest, cool! wish me luck!

Thanks javabeans. I just downloaded the additional oldfish songs you've so generously shared.

A couple more new songs, and I can burn my next cd.

Whoohoo!!

Count me in! :) I always love your music taste :D

Hmm I'm really impressive with Oldfish or Soda O-O? that's talent right there! he make his own songs basically and sings it too lol of course ;D.

Dot Dot Dot -- hmm i very cute song even though i dun knw wat it means ^^"
A Day -- seems every happy like a nice relax hanging out song ^^
Let's go on a ride -- this is also a cute song and relaxing ^^

that's cool! Jinju i mean lol because it sounds like a place where you can hang out with your friends and go to concerts ;D. I have to disagree with what the people say about his albums cover. when i look at the cover at the first time the robot remind of a lil child walking like that lol, and the color makes it looks soo innocent like childhood :). also about wat Soda said he wants his songs to be all around the world. i have to agree, because even though we speak in different languages, music is something that everyone can related too ^^

HWAITING OLDFISH!! & Thank You Javabeans to share those awsome songs~

I hope I win!

I come here for the music most, really. Thanks, always, for sharing. :)

I hope I'm not too late to be entered! I love this website and all the music you post. It's put k-music and k-dramas into my life :-)

you are awesome! thank you for providing more samples of Oldfish.

just love the your taste in indie music Javabeans! You opened up my eyes to heaps of great music out there i never knew. Thanks.

Well like always i´m discovering new groups thnaks to you (^.^)... and this is not the exception... i like their music & style... i make a little research and i found some songs that are great... so thanks for the information (^3^)...

sounds really cool.. thanks for sharing the songs :)

Thanks for the recommendation. Loving their music!

hi Javabeans
am enjoying the songs you put up - thank you!
i don't understand korean (tho am attempting to learn it..slowwwwwly), but have enjoyed getting to know more of the indie pop songs you put up - i think we may have similar indie interests, haha. i always enjoy the music you have here - thanks to you i'm now going thru the Soumates OST...

its almost impossible for me to get k-indie things in my country, but the first time i heard something that sounded almost like what i usually listen to was when i heard the que sera sera soundtrack - it literally stopped me in my tracks. and then i started emailing my friends about korean bands that sounded like KOC and jose gonzalez. and even B&S and camera obscura!! (my second shock was listening to the coffee prince unofficial soundtrack and almost falling off my chair when i heard the wannadies).

hope to be able to get to hear the Oldfish album and hearing more good stuff! =)

cheers

Thank You Dear Javabeans.

hmm... looks like this comment thing malfunctioned with the flood of commentors. i didn't just say "i." what i meant to say:

I

AWESOME!! this is the first time i know so much about a music group..haha. thank for posting something interesting. And i LOVE your idea of giving away prizes....I LOVE prizes. All comes down to luck....drats...haha. Not sure Lady-LUCK is on my side though...but who knows? WOOHOO
And yes i have to admit a week is good to be safe....but man...a week is a bit long to wait. HAHA
ok GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! may the LUCKIEST person WINS!! muahaha
let the BATTLE BEGINS (joking)

I haven't known this band since watching Cofffe Princes and find out your website. Their music is something smooth, and relaxed. And I do love this band.
In fact, I dont care about the CDs and your thread makes me to have to leave a comment ^_^ . Thanks for sharing ...... Great taste at music, dear !!!

wow, thank you for this opportunity!

Yay! I'm always looking for good, new Korean indie music...

"A Day" is like waking up on a sunny morning after a rainy night and wanting to stay in bed (like it!) "Movement, Dot Dot Dot" reminds me of those videos that shows people moving in the streets either busy for work/school or just crossing the streets (just fine) "Riding on the Wind" for me was cool, it makes you feel as the title says (Love it!) I think more of his music as cool, light and easy yet not boring. Am not into slow kind of techno music but his' just got the right pace. I hope he would have some mix on his other albums because i usually tire of listening to the same beat recycled over time when artists tend to live on their signature work and get stuck with it.

I must say I used to listen american indie music before so this isn't outside the realm of my musical universe. Then we started watching dramas and then started listening to K-music. I think we have very similar taste in indie music. It's getting to the point where I can't remember which group is Korean or US origin until I actually listen to the song. It's probably one of the reasons I like Korean music as oppose to other Asian music..rambling on .. I guess you could be considered part of my Korean musical roots.. heh heh .. cheers.

Very interesting.... I like, I like... n_n

love oldfish! thanks for introducing me to him javabeans!! my first dl was the reposted song, "way to home," and just fell in love with it.
too bad the video for 뚜뚜뚜 isn't available anymore!!!! =(
(also the colbert vs. rain dance-off isn't available anymore too) =(

Before reading your posts, I like to hit play and then continue to read while listening to the song of the day :) It's like a small gift for me every time I read a new post because the song will be something that I've never listened to before, and it'll be something I could listen to and enjoy regardless of my mood^^. It's like ... a small breath of fresh air ....

All that seems to be on the radio nowadays is stuff from mainstream media. I'd request songs from "new" artists I'd discover from your site when I'd be listening to the radio on the 'net.... It's like I want to share my great find with everyone else~

Your entries are always entertaining, smart, substantial, and thought-provoking - makes for a good read when I'm trying to procrastinate, hehe~ Thanks for reading!

I've never heard of Oldfish before, only Rumblefish, ha!

THANK YOU! I love your blog. Its the only way I am up to date with what goes on in Korean Entertainment and Music Industry. And it helps that you put it plainly for those of us who don't speak Korean but appreciate good art.
Count me in the contest please~ I like their music a lot.

Hi!
Thank you for the post and update on Oldfish.
After listening to it their brand music runs on smooth flow of the sound that can make you relax and take a sip of coffee and even wine.
I would like to imagine myself listening to their songs while sipping wine in a hotel bar or lounge, with people just enjoying their time in quiet while listening to their tracks.

Their album cover looks cute @.@

It's my first time listening to Oldfish, but I like it! Their song "Dot Dot Dot" seems like it could be used in the soundtrack of Coffee Prince ^_^

WOW! So many new comments. I really love a lot of the music that you have posted. It's so unique and different. I really like music that not a lot of people listen to. =)

This track sounds great!
