Having put and together for their bold debut album , Korean five-piece take the drama down a notch with the lighter sounds and Western-centric sonics of their third mini-album, . Kicking things off with one of the year's most unconventional intros on ¿Good Bones,¿ layer a wild collage of melodies and spoken word pieces over surprisingly heavy guitar lines, building the anticipation perfectly with a thumping, slick sound. Title track ¿Easy,¿ the project's immediate standout, is quick to capitalize, steeped in a quick-footed confidence that feels light and breezy. It's a sharp left turn from the group's more traditional, anthemic TTs, but its dainty sonics and 's ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿, kiss me¿ chorus imbue it with an understated energy and a flowing sound worthy of the track's title. Unfortunately, the project's B-sides struggle a little more with balancing the weight of their influences. ¿Smart,¿ undoubtedly the designated TikTok hit here, borrows very heavily from amapiano and Afrobeats (both currently having their first major global moment), while the drifting ¿Swan Song¿ has drawn not unfair parallels from fans online to 's ¿Kill Bill" due to the track's slightly derivative song structures. Things close on a strong note with the strongest B-side of the three, ¿We Got So Much,¿ where lock melodies for an open-hearted closer. Although steps out of the gate with a grungy opener and a superb title track, it's sub-three-minute song lengths and hard-handed influences put a ceiling on its potential for intrigue. ~ David Crone
