집
집 (2024) is HANRORO's second EP, built around a house that is burning, broken and finally rebuilt by the people who have nowhere else to go. The songs move from a home with no heating and a food chain of hurt kids to a playground, a pile of ash and a repair job. Expect words for damage and repair, enduring and fighting, and the polite everyday phrases that slip into the last track.
