Daily Edit | Jan 5

South Korean shoegaze musician Parannoul is starting the new year off strong. Yesterday he released the new single "연말 다짐," which translates to "year-end resolution." 

"연말 다짐" has a real soaring aura to it. The dramatic shifts at the end remind me a bit of Pet Sounds. There's some psychedelic string treatment and a whimsical entrance of bells. -Stereogum
