South Korean soloist Yerin Baek and her band The Volunteers (TVT) dropped a new single Tuesday titled “New Plant.”
In a press release from label Magic Strawberry Sound, “New Plant” is described as “a tale of fame and the illusionary glamor around it, a metaphor for an action of renewing oneself and hence re-establishing oneself to others - a necessary course to take to fill the void felt within.”
The single is also joined by the track “Hypocreep.”
