이상비행
이상비행 (2023) is HANRORO's first EP, a set of indie-rock songs about leaving something behind and flying off anyway. Its images are seaweed drifting between islands, a goldfish in a broken bowl and a self that chooses its own hard day. The vocabulary covers drifting and escaping, embarrassment and envy, and the plain words for regret and forgiveness.
