Formed in 2017, British/Korean duo WOOZE (named after the Korean word for “space”) emerged from Brixton’s Muddy Yard artist collective. Known for their distinct visuals and genre-blending rock, they fuse Bowie-like theatrics with psychotropic sounds, drawing on influences from Korean music to ABBA and Led Zeppelin.
A trio of EPs established WOOZE as one of the UK’s most entertaining and innovative bands, with a unique, borderless sound. They have received plaudits internationally from Spotify, Apple Music, NME, Dork and DIY and have been consistently championed by BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, KEXP, Triple J, Lauren Laverne and Guy Garvey.
They’ve toured with Metronomy, headlined shows across the UK and South Korea, and will release their debut ‘The Yellow Album’, in February 2025. The record sees WOOZE at their most exuberant and extravagant widening their musical sphere of influence to include Talking Heads, Justice, Van Halen and Late of the Pier with lyrics that toy with the bizarre and even the outrageous.
Amongst all this is a brilliantly ambitious, expectation-defying record, which is quintessentially WOOZE.
