The band Dragonpony completes the record of growth with 'Earth Boy' that contains emotions from when they were trainees who wandered.

Dragonfoni held a showcase for the single 『Earth Boy" at Yes24 Wonder Rock Hall in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the 29th and had time to introduce new songs.

It is the first time in about four months that Dragonfony has performed a new song since 'Not Out' in March. The new song 'Earth Boy' has been pre-released through solo concerts and festival stages. Dragonpony decided to release 'Earth Boy' in a surprise move to respond to fans' requests for official music release.




Go Kang-hoon "It's a song that many fans have been waiting for. It is the first digital single to be released. I'm more affectionate. It is an honor to be able to play "Earth Boy" and Ahn Tae-kyu said, "It is a song that has been loved a lot on the stage of a performance or festival. I'm grateful to be able to release it. I feel really good," he said, expressing his feelings about the comeback.

'Earth Boy' is a song that captures the inner side of wandering youth like an airship that wanders out of orbit after losing a signal. It embodies a spatial sound by closely stacking instruments and choruses, and is characterized by an aural expression of solitude in the vast universe.

Cho Jung-hyun said "I thought we were definitely living on Earth and Earth people, but we seemed to be wandering and wandering. Therefore, he named it 'Earth Boy' in his desire to become an Earth Boy', and Ahn Tae-gyu also explained "It contains feelings of isolation or anxiety that the goal was not clear".




In particular, attention is paid to the fact that Dragonpony wrote his own song when he was a trainee. The lyrics, which contain complex emotions such as anxiety and loneliness felt in repeated despair, will penetrate the hearts of music fans deeply and delicately.

Kwon Se-hyuk "It was a song that had a long preparation period for its release. I'm curious how you'll listen to it, and Cho Jung-hyun said "It's a song that contains anxiety and precious memories from my trainee days." Precious and grateful to be released."

In addition, Ko Kang-hoon "It's a song we've been singing since before we started working as Dragon Pony. Fans responded, `Why are you here now, why are you making me wait?' and it was good.'




The process of making the song was also reversed. Kwon Se-hyuk said "When I was a trainee, there was one computer, but we all worked on it together. I worked on the ensemble jam. At that time, there was a feeling of confusion and anxiety, so I naturally wrote a song of that feeling. And I tried to sound like I was being sucked in."

As for the timing of the release, Ahn Tae-kyu said there was a solo concert in May. I promised to pay before the summer was over. Before that, I had plans to release it. I said I'd play it for you soon, but I couldn't keep it. I promised to pay before the end of this summer, so I thought I couldn't put it off any longer. Still, I made it possible to keep my promise at the earliest possible time."

Coincidentally, the release date is also Ahn Tae-gyu's birthday. Ahn Tae-gyu is not intended to be ". As we prepared and matched the schedule, I thought it could mean something to the fans, and I think it would mean something to us, too."

He also gave advice from seniors belonging to the antenna. Pyeon Sang-hyun "Jung Seung-hwan bought me beef. I played the new song for you. You guys are so coolThey said ' So I thought, "You're doing a good job.'"

Then "Lee Sang-soon also liked 'Earth Boy". He also expressed his gratitude to Lee Sang-soon, saying that he played several other demos, "He pointed out the 'Earth Boy'."

Ahn Tae-gyu said, "There were times when performances overlapped with Pepperton's seniors. We had time to talk to each other while watching the stage. Each time, he encouraged him, saying, `You're cool, you're always gaining strength.'

Dragonfony, the first rookie band of the antenna consisting of dragon and horse belts, is expected to continue another growth narrative through Dragonfony, which has recorded the moments of youth one by one with its first EP 'POP UP' in September last year and its second EP 'Not Out' in March.

First of all, he expressed his feelings about celebrating the first anniversary of his debut soon. Ahn Tae-gyu said "It was my first time on the show, and I went on a big and big domestic and international festival." He also held a solo concert in Taipei, Taiwan. It was sold out for two days, and I felt a lot of emotions as I saw the results. I want to show you a good side of me in the next music or story based on my experiences"

At the same time, he pointed out the strength of Dragonpony alone. Ko Kang-hoon "Our CEO said "Today is a better band than yesterday". I was so thankful. I think it's a growing character band that develops and gives room"I was proud.

Ahn Tae-gyu said "As we try to capture our autobiographical story, many people seem to sympathize with us. I think they like it a lot for live performances and the way they work, and Cho Jung-hyun said, "I think a little visual is a strength."'` he smiled awkwardly.

Finally, referring to the recent craze, the band boom, he strengthened his determination. Kwon Se-hyuk said "A lot of people seem to be interested in the band. I think it would be nice to be able to revive it and contribute to the band's boom," said Pyeon Sang-hyun, "I've been told that I'm rewriting Korean rock, and since we've been on the Korean band's history, I want to write this history in a cool way. He added, "I'm not complacent, I'll show good music and performance and grow up."

Dragonfony's digital single 'Earth Boy' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 29th.
