    Chang Wording Girl were formed in 2001 when Kim Kyung-Soon, Serendipity Jin-Ho and Mun Yong-Chik met whilst studying in Seoul. All three shared an interest in the ‘chong-um’ scene which was spearheading a re-interpretation of traditional mask dances and CWG soon became the movement’s most sought-after musicians. This success encouraged them to evolve into a fully-functioning band that was able to pursue a wider agenda and start to fuse strands of contemporary electronica and krautrock into the existing sound. The band has established a working method that
    favours intensive input to realise single ‘projects’ which are refined and honed over a series of months before being toured and recorded.
    For the realisation of the Neon Eon project the band have recruited Aki Matsunga from Japan and Janet Chu from Singapore to provide vocals.
    Chang Wording Girl have been featured on the influential ‘Mixing It’ show on BBC Radio 3 (UK) and described by The Wire magazine as an “electrifying mixture of abstraction and harmony” laying down a “series of compressed but intense tableaux”.
    Metal Postcard Records are very excited to be able to release their first record outside of Korea and look forward to introducing their unique and uncompromisiong sound to a wider audience.
