너와, RED & Strangers
Three standalone releases from 2018 and 2019, collected into one set: the drama OST ballad 너와, the neon-bright single RED, and the horror-drama OST 타인은 지옥이다 (Strangers). 너와 is the band's only fully Korean track and supplies the quiet vocabulary of watching someone sleep — 미소, 어둠, 곤히. RED turns toward light and motion with 불꽃, 빨갛다 and 펼쳐지다, while Strangers supplies the darkest register in the catalogue: 악몽, 비명, 갇히다, 지옥.
