Product Description

https://www.aladin.co.kr/shop/wproduct.aspx?ItemId=405500359 Silica Gel [POWER ANDRE 99] In November 2023, all the songs included in the 2nd full-length album [POWER ANDRE 99] were released for the first time at a solo performance of the same name, announcing the release of the regular album in Silica Gel's new way. Even before release, various attempts that went beyond everyone's expectations further amplified public expectations. In particular, this album is a full-length album released 7 years after the first full-length album [Silica Gel] released in 2016. It contains 18 colorful pieces of music that only Silica Gel can deliver, and will exceed the public's expectations. This is an album that makes us look forward to the brilliant performance and growth that these guys, who have now established themselves as an irreplaceable noun in the band scene, will show through their second full-length album, as well as how much more new and diverse music they will captivate the public in the future. The 2nd full-length album [POWER ANDRE 99] is the final destination of Silica Gel's long journey to find the identity of Machine Boy, which started with the single [Mercurial]. If you listen to the album in order from beginning to end, you will finally find out what Machine Boy was discovered by Silica Gel and what POWER ANDRE 99 is. I have a long-standing dream of going on an adventure. For example, something like this. One day, while I was leading an ordinary life, a stranger whose face and name I did not know came to me, stretched out his hand, and asked me the truth. 'Would you like to go on an adventure with me?' I had prepared my body and mind all my life to be able to accept that exciting offer at any time, but the opportunity rarely came. Silica Gel's 2nd full-length album [POWER ANDRE 99] is an album like a guide that awakens the souls of former or active adventure wannabes who have grown older, lost their imagination, and have adapted to a stable life. After listening to the first song 'On Black' to the last song 'PH-1004' as if completing a quest, you will soon find yourself standing in the middle of the adventure you dreamed of as a child. Meticulously, fiercely, and above all, bravely. / Yunha Kim (music critic) Silica Gel once introduced themselves as ‘a team that values sound.’ I personally think this is an expression that resonates deeply with sound engineers and provides good stimulation, so it is something I personally use as my motto. Silica Gel's second full-length album [POWER ANDRE 99] proves that this statement was not a moment of bravado or an impromptu response. It is an album that feels beautiful in the process of concretizing carefully selected and refined 'sounds' into a 'work' rather than simply vaguely pursuing the clichéd and ambiguous result of 'an album with good sound'. Just as chefs meticulously select ingredients, let's listen carefully to see what fresh and rare sounds they have discovered this time and turned them into their own music. / Jaemin Shin (Sound Engineer) It's fun to listen to the sound. Rather than the fun of listening to sounds where the relationships between instruments are well organized by frequency, it is fun to listen to the sounds they create by utilizing and arranging each instrument. Also, it's fun to listen to Kim Han-joo's voice. Through his voice, I often feel the complex and clean vibe of youth that I think of. Among Korean-speaking musicians, for me, Silica Gel is usually the team that always makes me feel welcome and supportive. I listened to this album carefully, and if I repeat it, it is fun to listen to. / Hyunjin Baek (musician, sound engineer, artist, director, actor) Is there anyone who disagrees that Silica Gel’s music is new? What you really need to pay attention to is not how new it is, but how it can be so new. They do not seek newness in exchange for ‘old’ or ‘familiar’. We only sincerely pursue the answer to ‘What do we want?’ Here is music of high purity created by an honest attitude, the result of digging deep with the vision inward. There are unpredictable elements here and there, but these act as interesting milestones rather than obstacles. And in the end, why is it like this?
