Precocious Neophyte - Home In The Desert

Aver gaining recogniTon both in the Korean indie scene and abroad as vocalist/guitarist of Vidulgi OoyoO (shoegaze/post rock) and guitarist of JuckJuck Grunzie(noise/psychedelic), Ham relocated to Chicago where she began experimenTng with home recording. In 2019, she released an EP comprised of inTmate acousTc composiTons under the name Sophysoon.
With Home in the Desert, Ham embraces the solitary acTon and lo-fi aestheTcs of home recording to create a fuzzier, more expansive sound, inspired by the organized noise of bands she grew up with in Korea's indie scene. Home in the Desert, wriken and recorded in her apartment between 2021-2022, developed out of Ham's akempts to envision how skeletal guitar lines might sound when performed live at ear-splidng volumes by a full band. “I never expected that I would make loud music again, but one day I took my guitar out and started jamming on my own.“
