ONEWE are moving into the pre-release recreation with Ferris Wheel (관람차), which is a style of their upcoming demo album. The phrase “demo” feels extra like branding than actuality right here, as I’m unsure songs can nonetheless be thought-about demos after they’ve been promoted with music movies and carried out on exhibits. However no matter vernacular, the tune extends the band’s ordinary sound with the arrogance and polish you’d anticipate.
Ferris Wheel coasts alongside traditional Ok-pop melodies. It’s as in the event that they reached their fists right into a bin of OST hooks and pulled out a bunch to string collectively. The tune has extra pep in its step than you may anticipate and its strings components make the group sound a bit like Ok-band friends Lucy. It’s all very tasteful and good, however the tune doesn’t ship something we haven’t heard 1,000,000 instances elsewhere. It has a pleasant wintery sheen to it that ought to discover house on seasonal playlists and its all the time good to listen to Yonghoon’s vocal doing its factor. Past that, I can’t think about myself going again to this.
