New Music: SYOT

We’re starting the week with a charming slice of K-pop, courtesy of rising South Korean trio SYOT.

These newcomers are picking up a tonne of momentum right now thanks to their neo-traditional productions, which are distinctively unique in tone. New single ‘Hide and Seek’ carries a heavy influence from 90s UK Garage, and treats listeners to a playful bop that likens being in love to playing hide and seek.

The song is taken from the outfit’s new album, ‘NAVI’ (Korean for ‘butterfly’), which is also out today. SYOT consists of producer G.QOO, singer & pianist Hanbeen Park, and gayageum player Yoolim Lee.
