The band creates a new form of music that mixes heavy post-rock and avant-garde, played on Korean traditional instruments like the haegeum, the piri and the geomungo, and electric guitars and electronics. Their intense, explosive performances have won them devoted fans on Hongdae’s indie scene (the premier spot in South Korea for live music).
2013 was a great year for the band, with 2 nominations and the best crossover award during the Korean Music Awards and their first concert outside Korea in Helsinki, Finland. 2014 saw the release of their first album outside Korea, followed by a extensive tour around the world. After signing a record deal with Bella Union, Jambinai is back with a European tour in 2016 to promote their second album which will be released in June.
“I think that they have got to be one of the most adventurous bands in the world right now.” – Kpopstarz.com
