Let me introduce you to my personal feel-good band and song of the month, "Chemical Love" by the South Korean indie rock group From the Airport.
Founded in 2012 by guitarist Milo and drummer-producer Zee, "Chemical Love" is the duo's first official EP with the popular Seoul-based label, Fluxus Music. Fluxus seems to have a knack for finding groups for their label roster who stand out from the rest and From the Airport confirm it once again.

This group already has the potential to crossover in the West, with most of the group's released material recorded in English.
And they seem to be receiving some critical (but positive!) reviews from international media sources such as the Guardian and Indie Shuffle. This seems to be a pretty good sign for our boys, who have yet to release a full-length album for our listening pleasure.
The title track, "Chemical Love" has a beautifully nostalgic vibe to it, which is why I want you pay close attention to this one.
Imagine a warm summer's evening, kicking back with your close friends, and reminiscing. This song will provide the perfect soundtrack in taking you back to days that have passed.
The video that accompanies it sticks to a monochrome color scheme, with bouncing shapes and a whimsical feel to it. We're not supposed to be blown away by the visuals, that's not the main focus here.
We're supposed to relax and take in the strumming of the guitar and fill in what we see with our own personal stories.
I love music like this.
There isn't a sense of being overwhelmed with flashing lights, and provocative costumes, just pure musical bliss.
Listening to, "Chemical Love" makes me feel calm. I feel like the duo is giving me honest and straightforward songs, from which I can see a clear and definite maturity in their music.
Let's hope From The Airport keeps moving in this direction.
So what're you waiting for? If even for a few minutes, sit back and begin the melodic journey with "Chemical Love" by From The Airport
