Synopsis Date & Time
Synopsis

Silica Gel is a South Korean indie rock band known for pushing the boundaries of psychedelia, art rock, and noise pop. Since forming in 2013, the quartet—Kim Han-joo, Kim Min-su, Kim Geon-jay, and Choi Woong-hee—has crafted a distinctive sonic identity that blends experimental textures with infectious energy. Their name, inspired by the silica gel in a gum container, reflects the band’s spontaneous and adventurous approach to music-making.

 

From their debut EP Pure Sun (2015) to their 2023 album Power Andre 99, Silica Gel has continuously evolved, garnering critical acclaim and earning the Musician of the Year award at the 21st Korean Music Awards. Their collaborations, including NamgungFEFERE with Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast, showcase their versatility and willingness to explore new cultural and linguistic terrains through music.

 

Renowned for their explosive live performances, Silica Gel has captivated audiences at international festivals such as Primavera Sound, Vivid Sydney, and Festival Les Escales. Combining experimental ambition with a deep emotional resonance, the band continues to carve out a brave new sound that defies expectations and transcends boundaries.
