 Jambinai’s third album, repressed due to demand.
 When the three founders of Jambinai decided to, “communicate with the ordinary person who doesn’t listen to Korean traditional music,” few outsiders anticipated an extraordinary fusion with
metal, post-rock and noise. “Most people expect Asian traditional music to make something smooth for yoga or meditation,” says band spokesman Lee Il-woo. “We wanted to break all of that.”
 Even fewer would have predicted that the likes of Jambinai would play the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremony in their home city of Seoul, accompanied by a troupe of geomungo
(Korean zither) players - an audio visual spectacle that such an occasion demanded. Now comes ‘ONDA’, their spectacular new album on Bella Union.
 “A triumph… Countless bands can switch from quiet to loud effectively; few do it with such overwhelming power as Jambinai.” - MOJO (4 stars)
 “Fusing traditional Korean music with post-rock, ‘ONDA’ is their heaviest yet… Clever and thrilling in equal measure.” - Uncut (8/10)
 140g double vinyl in black paper inner sleeve inside 300gsm / reverse board wide spined sleeve with 8-page booklet.
