Background
Parannoul and Asian Glow are two representative artists of the shoegaze scene that started in South Korea since 2020.[2][3] They already collaborated EPs through Downfall of the Neon Youth, and prior to the EP's release, they also joined the crew Digital Dawn, which includes Brokenteeth, Wapddi, Della Zyr and Fin Fior.[4][5]
Critical reception
Ian Cohen of Pitchfork reviewed "Paraglow, a new joint release from the Seoul artists feels like a true collaboration, fusing their distinct styles with shoegaze production and alt-rock guitars."[6] Konstantinos Pappis of Our Culture Mag described the track Wheel (운전대) as "the 15-minute mammoth of a closing track, that overflows with the most astounding ideas, leaving you dizzy and breathless", and the EP was named the best EP of 2022 by magazine.[7]
