Casker is a one-person project that consists of Lee Juno [이준오] (programming, synths, samples, dsp) with Lee Yung Jin [이융진] (vocals) and Lee Jin Wook [이진욱] (acoustic and electric pianos).

They've been compared to Clazziquai Project many times, which is how I first discovered them but their styles are still different. Casker definitely has more solely instrumental songs and doesn't sound so "pop" like Clazziquai. I guess they are more abstract in the sense that they use a lot more elements of electronica so it sounds more "techno".

So far Casker has released two official albums (The Planet Built with Steel, Skylab) and the third one is coming out on Nov. 24th. I believe it's called 'Between'.

I really like them and they're really mellow to just listen to... so if you havn't checked them out already I definitely recommend you do :]

Anyone here already listens to them?

Ya, Ive run across them. Pretty good music..........I really dont have anything to add but seeing as how no one replied I felt bad.

I've been too lazy to reply lately. XD
Anyway, I did download their album, but I can't seem to remember how they sound like. I tihnk I compared them to Loveholicc, though. I guess I'll give it a try again soon

i'm listening to their 3rd album
i like track3 "가면" =)

If you like Casker, you might also like Roller Coaster and Humming Urban Stereo.

I don't think they sound anything like Loveholic...


But I love their 3rd album. It's amazing... they're heavier on the electronic beats than Clazziquai, in my opinion.

ah ^^ yoongjin was featured in "love love love" by epik high on their 4th album "remapping the human soul".

Yep and Yoonjin did show up for the performance with Epik High for a few seconds. If Epik High decide to sing that song after the song Fan, she'll definitely will show up more often.

I like Casker. They have a darker sounding compare to ClaZziQuai. Also, you guys should try Jeppet.

3 of casker's album are good! I always listen to them!
Humming Urban Stereo are good too!
I am surprise to find such good artist around in korean music industry!
but too bad not many ppl like their songs.. they prefer 'pop' more..

Ive listened to them a couple times. Theyre pretty good. I like itt.

yoongjin sounds really good in love love love
imma download their music

yoongjin is pretty too xD

Love Casker.

Aren't they under the same label as Clazziquai?

Casker is under Lupin Records. ClaZziQuai is under Fluxus.




That's actually not the real yoongjin but a young actress. If you wanna see how youngjin really looks like, go to

^i absolutely love the background music on their website. does anyone know if that is a clip from their song? if so, i would love to know the name. xDDDD

i really like casker, but i prefer clazziquai more just because i like the pop-like sensation and i absolutely love their english and korean lyrics, but yeah, i agree with you about how they have different style.

go casker!!! by the way, what does that name mean? O_O?

it's from their 3rd album. the title is 가면

Since LOVE LOVE LOVE I've been searching for casker!!
The only thing Loveholic and Casker have in common is both have sweet sounding vocals!

Ohh... didn't know they already have 3 albums! Any idea where I can listen to it?

i think its on z-degrees.net

z-degrees.net has their 3rd album. But no luck on their 1st and 2nd. Anybody here know when I can find the first 2 albums? I love this group

Thanks.

i came across Casker the same way as many people here (which is through Love love love ). They sound really cool, kind of ambience music rather than a definite category
I'll PM you (the poster above) for their albums, thanks a lot

I really really love their 3rd album.

ack... i really want to hear their 3rd album! ToT
does anyone know where i can download it?
i went to z-degrees and they do not have it anymore.
plus, i deleted my account over there since i wasn't
being active enough. -0-;;;

if u still want to know check z-degrees.net again
its in there some where lol.
just check though the general music share section you'll find their music somewhere

anywayss yea i think casker is pretty good I like the third album

i started listenging to casker oncei started watching coffee prince
and that also made me start liking humming urban stereo and their entire OST

I totally love their 3rd album.
I just downloaded from ZD.And.....i'm downloading their first and second album too.
I love their bossanova and electronica songs.They're quite comparable with ClazziQuai.
But yeah,i do feel ClazziQuai is more mainstream,but still i love both of them!!!
Their bossanova and electronica songs are incredible.
They have sang for the Coffee Prince OST,Mocha.
I think they're a bit heading mainstream?But bossanova is still not considered mainstream...

THANKS for the tip on where to get Casker's other albums. I think Skylab is still my favorite but I really like their two additions to Coffee Prince OST (Mocha and Double Shot)

Z-degrees has some amazing stuff....

i feel they're heading mainstream too. especially now they've sang for coffee prince such a popular drama.
just like how clazziquai did 'my name is kim sam soon' and then to their present mainstream status.

Accidentally browsing through internet and find out about this band. They are different than clazziquai ( their music and sound more commercial ) and Humming Urban Stereo but somehow they say that if u can listen to this to band then u dont mind listening to casker.

I would describe their sound is dark, dreamy and cheerful sometimes.

does anybody even KNOW about casker?

my hyung seungmin told me about them and gave me shumma day music..

i like them alot--- especially sohn een jang


it's too bad they're underground--- they're one of my favorite artists.

is talking about stuff like sodi bada (p2p korean program for music) here illegal or is stuff like trying to download underground music legal?
it's underground--nobody knows about them--- i wanna listen too... :<

over the years i have found and liked some of casker's songs but it was not until recently that i've turned into a big fan. Now I love them!!

I am happy they are getting more publicity but I hope they don't lose their distinct sound.

I agree. I started listening to them earlier this yr, but lately (ever since sept) I've been hooked on them & Misty Blue.

If any of you would like to download their albums, I've uploaded their full discography over at my Asian Indie Post. =)

Casker is my all time favorite. I love every song from every album.

Casker is absolutely amazing.

I discovered them through a song called 고양이와 나 Part 2 and her voice was great!
I would really like to know more about them.
Does anyone have any pictures or further information?

(And what kind of genre is the type of music they produce? Is is electronica?)

were they on the coffe prince ost??
cuz i didn't know they were underground...
i'm not really into underground music but idk about them..
they have this pull on me..
