ODDINARY

ODDINARY (2022) is built on the idea that everyone is a little unhinged under the ordinary surface. "거미줄" describes being caught in a web and not wanting out, "MANIAC" strips the politeness off, "땡" borrows the buzzer from freeze tag as a signal to break loose, and "피어난다" thaws the whole thing at the end. This set covers all seven tracks: words for being trapped and captivated, for true colors showing, and for something finally blooming.
