Big Bang turns up analogue sound in new mini album


Boy band Big Bang sought to bring back the warmth of pre-digital pop music on their latest mini album, "Tonight," which was released just recently.

"Listeners must be tired of the rampant use of digital effects in K-pop, just as we are," the band said. "We wanted to comfort and cheer up people distressed by a series of unfortunate events in the country last year through bright, lyrical and melodious music."

The band's leader G-Dragon, who was in charge of producing the album, said, "The global trend in music is a mixture of the warmth of the analogue age and the coolness of digital. We tried to harmonize the new and the old in our new album."
