Seoul opened for Stars at The Grande Ballroom at Water’s Edge in Windsor back in October. Not going to lie, they almost upstaged them. Their album ‘I Become A Shade’ is an absolute gem start to finish. Incredible.

seoulmtl -- currently in the midst of a lengthy North American tour -- just premiered a new video for I Become A Shade stand-out “Real June” over on SPIN. “The icy Montreal indie-poppers in Seoul have a unique ability at conjuring a youthful nostalgia out of delicate synth sweeps and hushed vocals,” says SPIN. “So it’s appropriate that their video for ‘Real June” evokes those teenage salad days.” Watch it above, and check out all the dates below. Tickets in the tour section.

Two fun stories coming up!

I met Ryan Miller from Guster. How? He walked right in front of me as I was watching the last act of the night (Florence + The Machine). I flipped out. I was so excited to see their show earlier that day and to top it off, he walks right in front of me. I shook his hand, took a picture with him and gave him a hug. I honestly don’t even remember if the hug was consensual, but its fine cause I was star-struck and he seemed pretty appreciative of my excitement.

I also met the keyboardist from Seoul. Earlier on the Saturday of the festival, I watched their show and I was very impressed. Later on, he walks right by me as he was going deeper into the Kendrick Lamar pit of death. I tapped him, shook his hand and told him how great of a show he had had. He seemed decently shell-shocked that someone recognized him!
