Description (Translated):
Fish, fishing and playing! And "I don't want to grow up"It was filtered and filtered as if pure gold was being refined. The sound source was already completed last summer, but it was overturned several times. The songs that were sewn into the mix were dismantled, re-recorded, and reassembled repeatedly.
The bandmaster 'Vienna Finger' is melodic and ferocious in a rock style, familiar enough for a baby to dance to, but the texture of punk was intended to be taut.
A subtle tightrope walk between pop and rock. The cold, windy winter is just around the corner. Finally, they came up with a bundle of EPs.
Their place in the rock world is unique. Based in Hongdae, he crosses over the mass media. It is also considered a descendant of pop rock, which has been discontinued. However, they insist that they are the deficit of punk.
The discrepancy between the expectations seen from the outside and the utopia they harbor. While aiming for the majors, the deep-bones minor crookedness put them in an independent position of no genre.
In particular, this EP is a turning point from which to gauge future moves. I erased the traces of the first album and wrote a new one on a blank sheet. He also experimented with new materials to broaden his musical horizons.
What is noteworthy is the multi-layered, rich sound. The three-member band threw off their doubles far away. An acoustic guitar tucked under an electric guitar, a synthesizer cutting through the air, and a frantic FX sound effect. Unknowingly, they expanded their scope to pop.
Musical orientation has also diversified. With 'Fishing King', which has the unique flair of the vocalist 'Vienna Finger', they drew public attention, and in 'DDANCE', they showed the 'hip' of the Fishing Girls style. With 'No matter what anyone says, this song love story', he reproduced the Europop sentiment of the 90s in a pop punk style, and in 'Hello Mom', which had a twist, he revealed his hidden claws.
It's new, but there is no band 'like' Fishing Girls at this point. It is no longer possible to define it as lyrical outrageousness or tie it to a specific genre.
Nonetheless, Fishing Girls has been undervalued musically. This is because the seriousness of the message and the star rating tend to be proportional. Again, even so, the essence of music is entertainment. I never forgot for a moment that '樂 = play', that is, 'fishing and playing'.
Recently, the number of students learning guitar has increased, and the number of broadcasters looking for a band has increased dramatically. A hero always abruptly protrudes from the periphery.
In 2021, if a band can be 'hip', the options are here.
[Song Introduction]
1. King of Fishing
As the title suggests, the band's signature song. The Vienna finger, who couldn't even eat sashimi, wrote the lyrics while looking through the fish book. The resilience of the backing guitar and bass behind the vocals is as resilient as a caught live fish. I arranged the demo song, which was released on YouTube in December 2018, into an album version with thick lines.
2. DDANCE
Why is nobody dancing to rock anymore? I wrote it with the thought of wanting to make the festival dance. Maybe it would be more suitable to stick to the dance section instead of rock. The highlight of the song is the sound that starts off well and swells toward the second half. It contains a homage to the American hip-hop legend 'Beastie Boys'. Try to find it.
3. No matter what anyone says, this song is a love story
I had a lot of thoughts until the end which song to push as the title. One of the candidates at the time. In the meantime, it was called 'Yoo-Yoo'. It's because the story of drummer 'Yuyu' became a motif. Yuyu also participated in writing the lyrics. The high-pitched march that doesn't seem to fall is the real charm. During the recording, vocal cord nodules came to the neck of the Vienna fingers and took a break.
4. Hi Mom
Seeing the light of day years after I wrote it. Before the formation of Fishing Girls, the song that was active through the band 'Original System' led by Vienna Finger was completely rewritten. He was obsessed with music, but in the end, he sang of his youth's wanderings, that he was distant from his guitar and mother. Lonely modern rock and grunge sensibility were composed with an eerie twist.

Description (Original):
물고기, 낚앤놀! 그리고 "철들고 싶지 않아"순금을 정련해내듯 거르고 또 걸렀다. 음원은 이미 지난여름에 완성되어 있었지만, 뒤집어엎기를 수차례. 믹스로 박음질해놓은 곡을 해체하고 재녹음한 뒤 다시 조립하기를 반복했다.
밴드마스터 '비엔나핑거'는 멜로딕하게 박히면서도 록적으로 사납고, 아기가 들어도 춤출 만큼 친숙하지만 펑크의 질감은 팽팽할 것을 의도했다.
팝과 록의 미묘한 줄타기. 찬바람 부는 겨울이 목전에 왔다. 마침내 이들은 EP 보따리를 내놓았다.
록계에서 그들이 차지하는 위치는 독특하다. 홍대를 기반으로 활동하면서 대중매체를 넘나든다. 또 명맥이 끊겨버린 팝록을 잇는 후예로 꼽히기도 한다. 그러나 정작 본인들은 펑크의 적자(嫡子)임을 주장한다.
외부에서 바라본 기대치와 본인들이 품은 이상향의 불일치. 메이저를 겨냥하면서도 뼛속 깊이 마이너한 삐긋거림이 이들을 無 장르의 독립적 포지션으로 올려놓았다.
특히나 이번 EP는 향후 행보를 가늠할 분기점이다. 1집의 흔적을 지워내고 백지에서 새롭게 썼다. 또한 넓어진 음악적 시야를 새로운 재료들로 실험했다.
눈여겨볼 점은 다층적으로 풍부해진 사운드. 3인조 밴드 복식을 멀찌감치 벗어던졌다. 전자기타 아래로 퉁퉁 깔린 어쿠스틱 기타, 공중을 횡으로 가르는 신시사이저, 안달복달하는 FX 효과음. 부지불식간에 팝으로까지 영역을 넓혔다.
음악적 지향점 역시도 다채로워졌다. 보컬 '비엔나핑거' 특유의 뽕삘이 묻어나는 '낚시왕'으로는 대중적 주목을 이끌어 내고, 'DDANCE'에서는 피싱걸스식 '힙'을 드러냈다. '누가 뭐래도 이 노랜 러브스토리'로는 90년대 유로팝 정서를 팝펑크 형식으로 재현했으며, 반전을 품은 '안녕 엄마'에서는 숨긴 발톱을 드러냈다.
새삼스럽지만 현시점에 피싱걸스 '같은' 밴드는 없다. 가사적 발칙함으로 규정할 수도, 특정 장르로 꿰어 묶을 수도 없게 됐다.
그럼에도 피싱걸스는 음악적으로 저평가 받는 측면이 있어왔다. 메시지적 엄중함과 별점이 비례하는 경향 때문이다. 또 한 번 그럼에도 이들은 음악의 본질은 엔터테인. '樂=놀이' 즉 '낚앤놀'임을 한순간도 잊지 않았다.
최근 기타를 배우는 학생들이 늘고 밴드를 찾는 방송 연락도 부쩍 잦아졌다. 영웅은 언제나 변방에서 불쑥하고 돌출한다.
2021년, 밴드가 '힙'일 수 있다면 선택지가 여기에 있다.
[곡 소개]
1. 낚시왕
제목 그대로 밴드의 시그니처 곡. 생선회는 입에도 못 대는 비엔나핑거가 어류도감을 뒤져가며 가사를 썼다. 보컬 뒤로 깔린 배킹기타와 베이스의 탄력감이 잡아올린 활어처럼 탱글탱글하다. '18년 12월 유튜브로 깜짝 공개했던 데모곡을 선이 굵은 앨범 버전으로 편곡했다.
2. DDANCE (딴스)
왜 아무도 더 이상 록에 춤추지 않는 거지? 페스티벌을 춤추게 만들고 싶다는 생각으로 썼다. 어쩌면 록이 아닌 댄스 섹션에 꽂히는 게 더 어울릴 지도. 능청맞게 시작해 후반부로 갈수록 휘몰아치는 사운드가 백미다. 美 힙합 레전드 'Beastie Boys'에 대한 오마주를 담았다. 찾아보시길.
3. 누가 뭐래도 이 노랜 러브스토리
어느 곡을 타이틀로 밀지 끝까지 고민이 많았다. 당시 후보곡 중 하나. 그동안 가제(假題) '유유'로 불렸다. 드러머 '유유'의 이야기가 모티프가 됐기 때문. 유유가 작사에도 참여했다. 떨어질 줄 모르는 고음행진이 묘미. 녹음 중 비엔나핑거 목에 성대결절이 찾아와 휴식기를 갖기도 했다.
4. 안녕엄마
써놓은 지 수년 만에 빛을 본다. 피싱걸스 결성 전, 비엔나핑거가 이끌었던 밴드 '원래그런시스템'을 통해 활동했던 곡을 완전히 새롭게 각색했다. 음악에 천착했지만 결국 기타도 엄마도 멀어졌다는 청춘의 방황을 노래했다. 쓸쓸한 모던록과 그런지 감성을 섬뜩한 반전으로 구성했다.
