As band names go, Korea in the Space sounds like a bad translation. They claim that it “could be a reference to Chick Corea’s Inner Space (1968), but really they just misheard a lyric in a Quasimoto song.” As band sounds go, the trio of college kids have found a sweet spot between fried white boy hip hop beats and cushy Panda Bear coos, fusing what often sounds contrived into a mellow and warped little composition called “Hi”. We like.
The song comes off an upcoming album called Second Head, out October 25.
