i am sorry i am so very busy with life things i'm barely on this site in general anymore. thornapple is releasing a new ep in the latter half of this month and the cover art as well as a couple of new songs i stumbled upon on youtube are insane(ly good). i'm very excited and enthralled and if i happen to find some spare time i will be translating the lyrics as always. if i do you'll find them on lyricstranslate.com

#thornapple

Not a translation request but do you have any recs for bands like Thornapple 😭 that’s not silica gel or se so neon.

I’ve been on a search for bands that have similar lyricism and psychedelic feel but I genuinely feel like Thornapple is the only one. 😢

hi! what a good question!

bands/artists with a similar sound to thornapple is something i've been on a search for since i started listening to them like 10 years ago. and yeah, it's a one of a kind sound, isn't it hah wouldn't say silica gel or se so neon are in any way similar though lol

can't say i've been lucky finding anything that comes even close but i think you could enjoy:

parannoul. shoegaze-y noise rock, not as symbolic and meaningful lyrics but they're vague enough so you can pretend they're About Something. instead of standing alone as a literary piece, lyrics more-so merge with the sound, still do their job at conveying that emotional rawness though. first listen rec: album To See the Next Part of the Dream.

achime. more math-y alt rock than psychedelic, pretty poetic lyrics that convey some artistic meaning, don't go as deep though. completely different type of vocal tone but just as sunghyun's voice it tugs at your heart. first listen rec: album Hunch.

3rd line butterfly. such a satisfying chill psychedelic sound that's pretty complex and artsy. lyrics, would say, more on the surface level but i do enjoy how they're performed. first listen rec: album Dreamtalk, maybe particularly song You Suddenly, I Again.

mot or eaeon (same person, mot used to be a band, eaeon is his personal music project). glitchy electronic for eaeon, for mot complex alt sound but for both lyrics finally reach a similar level to thornapple's, very poetic, many beautiful metaphors and allegories. first listen rec: from mot you can try songs Strange Season (haha couldn't resist), No Love, Love Song, Wings; from eaeon songs Bulletproof and Sad Mannequin.

electron sheep. maybe not as psychedelic but has very soft romanesque-ish indie sound that scratches a particular itch. lyrics not always deep or introspective but there are some gems. first listen recs: songs Aspirin Boy, deonjeon2, Sleep powder rain by Jellyfish.

sister's barbershop! just an icon from korea's indie scene. solid lyrics, solid sound, can do sadness and introspection pretty well. go straight into album Most Ordinary Existence.

cotoba. soft, flowing and dreamy psychedelic math rock. lyrics maybe not as impressive but they wield their guitars so well. first listen rec: just put them on shuffle, everything's gonna be good.

#hope you can find something new to listen to from this list but thornapple are truly unique so other artists either match #soundwise or lyricwise but not both at the same time lol

still can't believe shim jaehyun is leaving... who's gonna compose a 2nd lord of the flies for me now </3

#the core of thornapple....#it's quite weird how they said they'll continue as 3 #do they have no thoughts of having another bassist??#would make sense knowing how picky sunghyun is with this stuff but still ...#there must be somebody out there who would be at least somewhat on par with jaehyun's playing #and not only in a technical sense ..#Personal #thornapple

"capital disease" feels like the angriest release from thornapple. first 3 songs exploring the different sides/types of emotional heat but the last 2, although sounding more sad than angry, actually seem to complete the cycle perfectly. "seasonal rain front" sounds like the huge disappointment and powerlessness that arises after the heat of the anger passes a bit. then "seoul" feels like making peace with it, maybe even rationalizing it, giving it some meaning and direction. "capital disease" is like a whole musical journey through the emotion of anger, hatred – any feeling that's hot and boiling.

240315 THORNAPPLE YOUTUBE COMMUNITY UPDATE

Today we're here to relay some sad and sorry news.

It happened so that Shim Jae-hyun, who was performing as Thornapple's bassist up until now, is departing from the team. Shim Jae-hyun's deliberations about wanting to make his own music before it's too late ended up with him deciding to drop out [of the team].

With due respect to Shim Jae-hyun's decision that he delivered to us by saying "it's difficult to simultaneously perform as part of the team as well as have individual activities" – up until the month of July Thornapple will perform as 4, after that the team decided to continue on performing as 3: Yoon Sung-hyun, Hong Dong-kyun and Bang Joseph.

In the end, this was a decision that came about after long discussions which weren't easy for the members. Because of that we ask for your understanding as well as for you to send words of encouragement and wish nothing but the best to Shim Jae-hyun who's about to take on a new path.

#quick translation don't mind sentences sounding unnatural just wanted to convey the message #i cant believe the core of thornapple is leaving thornapple.....#we'll see where this takes thornapple i guess.....#Updates #2024

it’s finally february and i don’t know whether this song really sounds good this time around or is it just because of the title. maybe both,,

#nice to see you again february

discovered an acoustic guitar in my brother's room that he doesn't pick up anymore and said he'd be willing to give it to me... acoustic version of reason, you just wait.. just wait...

#the chords are so easy #had to stop playing bc my fingers started hurting so bad i couldn't press on the strings anymore #i've always wanted to properly learn playing any sort of guitar #guess this is my time!!!#i also don't understand (yet) how strumming with a pick should work ive only played my ukulele all my life #Personal

@thornappleband he was just not only smiling but being all cheeky and giggling 😂

thornappleband

when sunghyun giggles it's like the whole earth and universe is giggling 😳😭

#thank you for tagging me !!!!

i was born on the other side of the world from korea because god knew that if i attended a thornapple concert and felt my heartbeat synchronize to the rhythm of "veranda" – i'd transcend humanity right that instant. and god still has challenges for me so i can't do it that quick lol

#was just watching that legendary veranda performance where sunghyun screams into his guitar #and thought to myself thst veranda's beat is so familiar..... it's always been so familiar.... it really sounds like a person's heartbeat #personal #thornapple
