Tuesday October 12, 2010. Brand new interview of songwriter Jong-Seok Lee from the band Vidulgi Ooyoo at K.O.A. Zine #19! “I first heard of Vidulgi Ooyoo in 2007 when my band asked the Daydream guys if they could recommend any good bands for us to check out. At the time, there were no recordings available for us to listen to. Daydream’s guitarist Shin Gye-Hyeon was then in the process of recording VO’s debut LP, “Aero”. Interesting name, we thought- “pigeon milk”. Is that a reference to pigeons’ milky looking poo? Do pigeons actually lactate? [Turns out to be neither, but it does have something to do with how parent pigeons feed their young…] I finally got a chance to see them perform this summer and they completely lived up to my expectations and then some. I got to know VO’s principal songwriter Jong-Seok Lee over late nights at Godard and jam sessions. Far from being a shoegazer whose knowledge of music begins and ends with My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, Jong-Seok is a musician steeped in theory and history. For example, he would show me a tuning he came up with made up of only “perfect intervals” and was influenced by Indian drone… I’m also convinced that Jong-Seok is like a Korean Dorian Gray. The man does not age! More on that below… Fans in the U.S., VO is making plans to come next year! Keep an eye out… “  Read on…!
