Casker is a one-person project that consists of Lee Juno [이준오] (programming, synths, samples, dsp) with Lee Yung Jin [이융진] (vocals) and Lee Jin Wook [이진욱] (acoustic and electric pianos).

They've been compared to Clazziquai Project many times, which is how I first discovered them but their styles are still different. Casker definitely has more solely instrumental songs and doesn't sound so "pop" like Clazziquai. I guess they are more abstract in the sense that they use a lot more elements of electronica so it sounds more "techno".

So far Casker has released two official albums (The Planet Built with Steel, Skylab) and the third one is coming out on Nov. 24th. I believe it's called 'Between'.

I really like them and they're really mellow to just listen to... so if you havn't checked them out already I definitely recommend you do :]

Anyone here already listens to them?

Ya, Ive run across them. Pretty good music..........I really dont have anything to add but seeing as how no one replied I felt bad.

I've been too lazy to reply lately. XD
Anyway, I did download their album, but I can't seem to remember how they sound like. I tihnk I compared them to Loveholicc, though. I guess I'll give it a try again soon

i'm listening to their 3rd album
i like track3 "가면" =)

If you like Casker, you might also like Roller Coaster and Humming Urban Stereo.

I don't think they sound anything like Loveholic...


But I love their 3rd album. It's amazing... they're heavier on the electronic beats than Clazziquai, in my opinion.

ah ^^ yoongjin was featured in "love love love" by epik high on their 4th album "remapping the human soul".

Yep and Yoonjin did show up for the performance with Epik High for a few seconds. If Epik High decide to sing that song after the song Fan, she'll definitely will show up more often.

I like Casker. They have a darker sounding compare to ClaZziQuai. Also, you guys should try Jeppet.

3 of casker's album are good! I always listen to them!
Humming Urban Stereo are good too!
I am surprise to find such good artist around in korean music industry!
but too bad not many ppl like their songs.. they prefer 'pop' more..

Ive listened to them a couple times. Theyre pretty good. I like itt.

yoongjin sounds really good in love love love
imma download their music

yoongjin is pretty too xD

Love Casker.

Aren't they under the same label as Clazziquai?

Casker is under Lupin Records. ClaZziQuai is under Fluxus.




That's actually not the real yoongjin but a young actress. If you wanna see how youngjin really looks like, go to

^i absolutely love the background music on their website. does anyone know if that is a clip from their song? if so, i would love to know the name. xDDDD

i really like casker, but i prefer clazziquai more just because i like the pop-like sensation and i absolutely love their english and korean lyrics, but yeah, i agree with you about how they have different style.

go casker!!! by the way, what does that name mean? O_O?

it's from their 3rd album. the title is 가면

Since LOVE LOVE LOVE I've been searching for casker!!
The only thing Loveholic and Casker have in common is both have sweet sounding vocals!

Ohh... didn't know they already have 3 albums! Any idea where I can listen to it?

i think its on z-degrees.net

z-degrees.net has their 3rd album. But no luck on their 1st and 2nd. Anybody here know when I can find the first 2 albums? I love this group

Thanks.

*this post has been deleted by user

i came across Casker the same way as many people here (which is through Love love love ). They sound really cool, kind of ambience music rather than a definite category
I'll PM you (the poster above) for their albums, thanks a lot

I really really love their 3rd album.

ack... i really want to hear their 3rd album! ToT
does anyone know where i can download it?
i went to z-degrees and they do not have it anymore.
plus, i deleted my account over there since i wasn't
being active enough. -0-;;;

if u still want to know check z-degrees.net again
its in there some where lol.
just check though the general music share section you'll find their music somewhere

anywayss yea i think casker is pretty good I like the third album

i started listenging to casker oncei started watching coffee prince
and that also made me start liking humming urban stereo and their entire OST

I totally love their 3rd album.
I just downloaded from ZD.And.....i'm downloading their first and second album too.
I love their bossanova and electronica songs.They're quite comparable with ClazziQuai.
But yeah,i do feel ClazziQuai is more mainstream,but still i love both of them!!!
Their bossanova and electronica songs are incredible.
They have sang for the Coffee Prince OST,Mocha.
I think they're a bit heading mainstream?But bossanova is still not considered mainstream...

THANKS for the tip on where to get Casker's other albums. I think Skylab is still my favorite but I really like their two additions to Coffee Prince OST (Mocha and Double Shot)

Z-degrees has some amazing stuff....

i feel they're heading mainstream too. especially now they've sang for coffee prince such a popular drama.
just like how clazziquai did 'my name is kim sam soon' and then to their present mainstream status.

Accidentally browsing through internet and find out about this band. They are different than clazziquai ( their music and sound more commercial ) and Humming Urban Stereo but somehow they say that if u can listen to this to band then u dont mind listening to casker.

I would describe their sound is dark, dreamy and cheerful sometimes.

does anybody even KNOW about casker?

my hyung seungmin told me about them and gave me shumma day music..

i like them alot--- especially sohn een jang


it's too bad they're underground--- they're one of my favorite artists.

is talking about stuff like sodi bada (p2p korean program for music) here illegal or is stuff like trying to download underground music legal?
it's underground--nobody knows about them--- i wanna listen too... :<

over the years i have found and liked some of casker's songs but it was not until recently that i've turned into a big fan. Now I love them!!

I am happy they are getting more publicity but I hope they don't lose their distinct sound.

I agree. I started listening to them earlier this yr, but lately (ever since sept) I've been hooked on them & Misty Blue.

If any of you would like to download their albums, I've uploaded their full discography over at my Asian Indie Post. =)

Casker is my all time favorite. I love every song from every album.

Casker is absolutely amazing.

I discovered them through a song called 고양이와 나 Part 2 and her voice was great!
I would really like to know more about them.
Does anyone have any pictures or further information?

(And what kind of genre is the type of music they produce? Is is electronica?)

were they on the coffe prince ost??
cuz i didn't know they were underground...
i'm not really into underground music but idk about them..
they have this pull on me..

i really like their songs ^^
i found out through
epik high lovelovelove...but
i decided to find out more..when i was watching a photoshoot thing for kangdongwon XD..and i think someone asked, who sings the song in the background..and yup..it was casker ^__________^

Love every song they've made.
Current obsession Cactus, Soulfree, 가면 and Night People :]

I've been obsessed with Clazziquai lately;
Is Casker worth a listen?

I like Clazziquai cause of their dynamic versatility;
They have anything from electronica, ambience, r&b, soul, to bossanova.

Never heard of Casker other than the girl who sang in the Epik High song.

I love Casker! They are so laid back, totally good roadtrip/beachy-city life music. Fragile Days is one of my favorite songs ever! I can listen to it over and over. 7월의 이파네마 소녀 is a close second, that one really reminds me of being at the beach, especially with the seagulls in the background. 고양이와 나 is my third favorite song by them. The video on YouTube is pretty neat!

@ He's So Fly - they're sorta the same, but both have their own individual style.

If you wanna glimpse of them, try checking out the Coffee Prince OST. If you like what you hear, then go check out z-degrees.


I happen to LOVE their style. Anything electro-beat bossa nova is pretty easy and amazing on my ears. Their third album was just amazing <3

Ho-HO. True.
Those soft voices are so nice to listen to.
I'll give Roller Coaster a shot. Never heard of 'em.

Casker is just an amazing band. I can't understand they are so unknown, as they play on the same ground as Clazziquai (or so). I just got their 3 cds, and each of them have a unique atmoshpere : the first is electro experimental, and the two last mix samples of electronic, dance, funk, disco and gotan music. Awesome.

@Ching Ching : Roller Coaster is more jazzy/funky. I'm playing some songs on the bass, and I can tell the bassist is damn groovy.

But I don't know HUS. I'll give a try at listening^^ Thx for the tip!

I hope they come out with a new album soon, YoongJin's voice is so hauntingish sounding <3

casker's new digital single 'real heart' released 12/3/08

track list
01. 틈
02. 고양이와 나 Part 2 (Live ver.)

here are the lyrics for 틈 (i'm addicted to this song!)

Casker - 틈
너야말로 왜 나를 이렇게도 할껀없잖아
깨진약속은 이젠 어떻게도 돌릴순 없잖아
정말 많은 시간 동안우리 원망속에도 기대었지만
결국너와는 달라질께 없다는걸
이제는 잘 알아

넌 어쩌니 다른사람 다른곳을 보고있어
둘만의 시간중 그 어딘가 잘못된거니

넌 어쩌니 다른사람 이기심으로 가득차
엇갈린 방황을 그 어디서 끝내야하는지

그런 변명은 이제 그만해 질린거알잖아
나보던 눈빛 이미 네게 더는 찾아볼수없어
선택이랄께 없다는거 쯤 말안해도 알고는 있지만
굳이 그렇게 잔인하게 말을 끊고 떠날껀 없잖아

넌 어쩌니 다른사람 다른곳을 보고있어
둘만의 시간중 그 어딘가 잘못된걸까
넌 어쩌니 다른사람 이기심으로 가득차
엇갈린 방황을 그 어디서 끝내야하는지

끝내야하는지
넌어쩌니 다른사람
넌어쩌니 다른사람

넌 어쩌니 다른사람 다른곳을 보고있어
둘만의 시간중 그 어딘가 잘못된걸까
넌 어쩌니 다른사람 이기심으로 가득차
엇갈린 방황을 이젠 끝내야하는지

끝내야하는지

Is their song, 빛의 시간 (Time of Light), from their newest album?

Has anyone else listened to their new album yet? I'm loving the second track (빛의 시간) right now.

^ I had it playing just a moment ago.

AWESOME! I missed them. <3

I like the new album a lot. Glad they're still making music.

The new album is wonderful! I really liked "Skylab" and "Between" but this one has easily become my favorite.

I became a big fan of Casker ever since Coffee Prince. They do sound like Clazziquai too which is why I like them. Plus one of their songs in their new album is included in the Boys Over Flowers OST. I posted all of their albums on my site which you can visit at http://goldlilys.110mb.com/yacs.
