Nell / 넬
NELL ( 넬) is a band I can't really love utterly.
Maybe because sometimes they sound repetitive....
Maybe because sometimes they are just "too typical"...
But everytime I'm thinking this...
I kinda 'trip' with something amazing....
Nell is a band which actually gives you brilliant songs,
but I can't assure you won't get stuck on just a couple of melodies.
Their sound goes and comes inside some alternative rock,
pop-rock, some jazzy moments and even funky sounds once in a while.
Personally, I really like Nell.
I am not a Korean-native speaker, but I've read translated lyrics
And 김종완 [Kim Jong-wan (vocalist, lyricist)] does know how to write certainly.
And also he has this kinda of soft high pitch voice
that makes you either love him or hate him.
The band also integrates 이재경 (Lee Jae-kyung) on the guitar,
이정훈 (Lee Jung-hoon) on the bass and 정재원 (Jung Jae-won)
It is a pity that Jongwan entered the army last August
to serve the obligatory militar service any Korean male has to serve.
We will have to wait at least two years to get a new album
But in the meantime, here you go with the list of their albums
