Meaningful Stone『To: HANA』CD

From Korea to Asia and the world! Meaningful Stone, a rising star in the Korean indie scene, paints a gem-like story! Featuring US West Coast SSW Jay Som as a guest, the album offers a transparent soundscape where dream pop and indie folk intertwine!

In their 2nd album, "Angel Interview," released in 2024, Meaningful Stone ventured into new territory with a foundation of roaring guitars and alternative rock sounds. In their latest work, "To: Hana," they develop transparent dream pop and indie folk with beautiful melodies and harmonies, as well as a pleasant band ensemble! With soft vocals, they express the process of being reborn as a new self while layering themes such as belief, hope, and parting.

The opening "To: Hana" (M1) is a dream pop track with an impressive calm guitar and expansive soundscape. In the following "1+1=0" (M2), US West Coast indie scene representative SSW/producer Jay Som participated in production, arrangement, composition, performance, and recording, and both are finished in a refreshing and floatingly pleasant sound where US indie and Korean indie crossover. Then, in "Summer, Summer, Summer" (M3), they deliver light indie pop that makes you feel the poignant summer feeling as the title suggests, and in "Happiness is an angel with a serious face" (M4), they present a serene indie folk incorporating acoustic guitar and mandolin, and finally, with the light indie rock track "Seoul Station" (M5) that closes the work, it concludes like a letter indicated by the title "To: Hana". The world view that Meaningful Stone has built so far has undergone further evolution, resulting in a work that has sublimated into a global sound that resonates not only with Korea and Japan, but also with the indie scenes of North America and Europe.
