KOREA, 2002. Digipak Kim Doo Soo is the deepest and most introspective of Korea's acid folk singers. Many are the legends that cling to his songs - political oppression, alcoholism, suicide, a ten-year period of mountain seclusion. Despite having been active since the mid eighties and having released four acclaimed albums in Korea, most Western listeners only became aware of him through his tracks on the recent Damon & Naomi compilation, International Sad Hits. On Free Spirit, his fourth album, he mines productive veins of profound melancholy, animistic nature, and unfathomable, hermetic affection. The whole is couched in a veil of the most gorgeous still melodicism, Kim's vocals and guitar shaded with subtle accordion, cello, organ and harmonica. A reflective and unearthly beautiful masterpiece.
