Charlie Harding and Nate Sloan

It's really a strong statement from beginning to end with lots of lyrical references, like you were saying, to customs and tradition.

One more track I want to listen to from the first half of this album is called Faya, and it reaches into its 90s house bag.

Once again, bringing in some really creative producers, JPEG, Mafia, and Flume both appear here.

I should probably mention back when we were listening to Aliens, that was a Mike Will Made It production.

What a creative cast of collaborators they're bringing in.

Yeah, this track slaps.

Forgive me, Charlie.

I know you hate when I say that, but I have no other adjective to prescribe here.

It's so much fun to listen to.

It's got that 90s house beat.

It's got these electric lyrics.

I feel like everything we've heard so far from the opening four tracks of this album is just like guns blazing out of the gate, wearing the K of K-pop on their sleeves.

And then...

something kind of shifts in the album track seven is simply called number 29 and it's short you're looking at this and you're like oh you know sometimes in the past bts will do like a skit or an interlude or something maybe that's what we're going to get here but instead press play on the song number 29 and this is what you hear

Sound bath.

What?

It is one minute and 38 seconds of that bell hit that we just heard and then the natural decay of the sound until it's completely disappeared.

This is a field recording of the Bell of King Seondeok, the 29th National Treasure of Korea, a bell that was cast in the year AD 771.

So it's like literally millennia's old.

And it was only rung for the first time in centuries, like 22 years ago.
