Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = All performances do not have to be dramatic, with a twist. Drama can also be created through naturalness. <\/p>\n

British singer-songwriter Alro Parks (23, Alro Parks), who performed for the first time in Korea on the afternoon of the 8th at the Musinsa Garage in front of Hongik University, showed off what he can do well. <\/p>\n

Lo-fi indie pop textured songs were reborn as a great band set with solid sessions. Parks’ soft and direct vocals went back and forth between a dreamy curve and a straight line of clarity. It was a relatively short running time of about 70 minutes, but the lingering feeling of satisfaction was long.<\/p>\n

The setlist of the performance, which started with the first track ‘Bruiseless’ of the recently released 2nd album ‘My Soft Machine’ (2023), is the 2nd album and an alum, Ja Mirae Kim’s debut studio album ‘Collapse’ The songs from ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams’ (2021) were evenly mixed.<\/p>\n

The soundscape of the second album is more colorful than the first album, which uses beats and lo-fi guitars as the main weapons. The new arrangement of the songs from the 1st album was good, but the texture of the physical manifestation in the concert hall of the songs from the 2nd album was richer. Such is the exotic sound of ‘Purple Phase’ and the lively guitar sound of ‘Devotion’. Parks also showed off his dazzling guitar playing in ‘SOPHIE’ and ‘Devotion’.<\/p>\n

Another noteworthy point in Parks’ performance, who is also a poet who writes beautiful lyrics, is the sense of rhythm and tone that evokes a message with a weightless voice.

“You’re the rainbow in my soap \/ You notice beauty in more forms than most”, “When you take in all my impurities \/ And I feel clean again.<\/p>\n

Generation Z musician Parks, born in 2000, has never said that he is a representative of his own generation, but he naturally acquired such a formula while going through a pandemic and replacing the helpless words of a shaken life with songs. Singing about the unfamiliarity of life is not something new, but learning about unfamiliar life while singing anew. Parks proves that singing is a shared entry into a world we don’t know enough about. <\/p>\n

However, the sense of such a song was not created only through convulsions contemplated in the room. The bright energy that naturally radiates from Parks, who shows off his wit and wit as if he was sufficiently refined on stage, allows him to go straight on the road of life without detouring. Such lightness gives the strength to pass through life without incident. <\/p>\n

The inner experience of confusion in youth meets the energy of Parks’ innocent voice and stage manner, making it a universal experience for all youth. So the performance becomes an experience and a drama. There is no dramatic life, life is dramatic.<\/p>\n
