It appears that evidently OnlyOneOf are not any extra, however of their place we have now new group QQQ, comprised of members KB and 9 and former member Love. Normally, a splintering like this might be trigger for fear, however OnlyOneOf had been well-known for his or her self-composed music and the masterminds behind it are on this group.

Okay-pop may actually use some new concepts, and KB and 9 really feel like idols who may push issues ahead. However first, we have to get the pesky re-debut/rebrand out of the way in which. Unsurprisingly, Uncool feels prefer it may’ve match on any OnlyOneOf album, although I don’t assume it could have been the title observe. The ambition feels extra muted right here, as the fellows go for a comparatively simple rock music. They ship it with a punky aptitude, although there are too many vocal results for my liking. And somewhat than construct towards a standout refrain, most of Uncool is just trendy chanting. This works properly sufficient for a music inside this style, however doesn’t go away a lot of an impression past the general aesthetic.

I don’t wish to saddle QQQ with unfair expectations, nevertheless it’s unattainable to not examine their music to OnlyOneOf’s discography given how unbelievable their historical past was. The comparability doesn’t assist them right here, as Uncool appears like a blip on the radar in comparison with one thing extra sprawling and game-changing like libidO and dOpamine. I hope they’ll get again to that stage of pleasure on future releases.
