SIK OHESO + V13

"The self-titled, ten-track, indie punk extravaganza is a collection of all of the best singles and EPs that the band has released in their short time together. What’s different this time around, though, is that the tracks have actually been mixed to their full potential, and received the treatment which proper releases are due. Many of the songs are deeply personal and provide an inner look into the mind of bandleader and founder Jon Yi."

Sik Oheso was founded in Brooklyn in early 2019 as a home recording solo project for Jon Yi. The band name is a combination of Korean and Japanese words (Jon is half Korean and half Japanese) and is a reference to navel gazing, as the first two songs written were extremely personal in nature. It began as a low-key solo project for director Yi to have something creative outside of filmmaking-- he has directed series work for HBO since 2009 and is alsois also a professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts film school. With the goal of putting out at least one song a month in the year 2019, Jon wrote and recorded the songs and had friend Shawn Mehrens (Abi Yo Yos) perform vocals. Moving forward, Shawn began writing the lyrics to future songs while Jon continued to write the instrumentation. They enlisted guitarist  Lance Lee, from Nashville (who has played guitar for Del tha Funkee Homosapien) and Seve Sheldon of Public Eye in Portland to fill out the lineup. Still in its infancy, the band has opened for Jerry Paper, with their standout performance prompting a rival promoter in the audience that night to offer the Brooklyn-based band a headlining gig at the legendary venue Baby's All Right in January 2020.

Sik Oheso was recorded by band members, and mixed and Mastered by Zach Tuch (Touche Amore, Warm Thoughts). It will be released on limited silk-screened cover and randomly colored vinyl, as well as digitally, on March 27, 2020. Preorder, here.
