Fe3O4: BREAK
Fe3O4: BREAK (2024) is the mini album fronted by "DASH" and the pre-release "Soñar (Breaker)". Nearly every track is about pushing through something — a barricade, a wall, an orbit, other people's prejudice — so the Korean is full of verbs for hesitating, breaking away and holding on. "Passionfruit" adds taste words, and "XOXO" supplies the vocabulary of misunderstanding and making up.
