BELLA916 // 9 December 2022

ONDA is the spectacular new Jambinai album on Bella Union. It’s hard to believe but ONDA is even more dynamic and rhythmic, with the permanent addition of Jaehyuk Choi (drums) and B.K Yu (bass), fixtures of Jambinai’s live band since 2017. The way the quintet “sticks together like gears of a clock or machine,” says Lee, is celebrated on Square Wave, a breathtaking example of Jambinai’s ability to alternate between ambient serenity and molten ferocity.
