Jun 8, 2019Jambinai have crafted a beast of an album with the perfect length to maintain its punch. Besides this, there are many idiosyncratic elements here which are hard to forget and easy to recognize once listened to. Though their music isn’t for everyone, once you get to the gist of it, it’s very rewarding.

Jun 19, 2019ONDA approaches traditional Korean music as an ever-evolving culture, thoughtfully maintaining its essence while also introducing new influences. The result is a project that interweaves diasporic influences just as heterophony interweaves distinct melodies.

Jun 26, 2019Overall, Jambinai's third album is both grander and more restrained than its predecessors, achieving a vast, wide-open sound that is equally focused and direct.

Jul 12, 2019The shifts between melodic post-rock and Korean folk and the full-on metal sections is what really caught my attention. Typically, bands can do loud well or they can do quiet and subtle well. It’s rare you find a band that excels at both, Jambinai does that here.

Jun 6, 2019Ultimately, ONDA is an interesting but forgettable experience despite its origins.
