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?

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.

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.

^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?

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?

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.

"But when it ends and while it ends, something comes, after so much rage, persistence, obstinacy, extravagance; something entirely unexpected and touching in its mildness and goodness. With the motif passed through many vicissitudes, which takes leave and so doing becomes itself entirely leave-taking, a parting wave and call, with this D G G occurs a slight change, it experiences a small melodic expansion. After an introductory C, it puts a C sharp before the D. . .and this added C Sharp is the most moving, consolatory, pathetically reconciling thing in the world. It is like having one's hair or cheek stroked, lovingly, understandingly, like a deep and silent farewell look. . . . " (Mann: 55).
