EPEX 1st Album Digestion (韶華) Chapter 1: Youthful Years

EPEX is making a comeback with their first full-length album, "Digestion (韶華) Chapter 1: Youth".

EPEX, seven of the eight members of which were minors when they debuted in June 2021, will all be adults in 2024. After expressing the boys' insecurities and the beginning of love through their last six mini albums, including their debut album, they will now sing about their youth in the midst of their adolescence.

Their first full-length album, "Digestion (韶華) Chapter 1: Youthful Years," is the first in EPEX's Youth Trilogy series of full-length albums. The first installment of the series, which is named after the sunny spring scenery and youth, is full of songs that are as warm as spring, but sometimes harshly realistic and honest, including stories about the worries, dreams, and love of the youth of our time in their most glorious years.

It is also the story of EPEX, who is standing in the midst of youth right now, telling the stories they want to tell to the youth, the social problems they face, the worries they have because of their youth, and their purest love story.

1. KILLSHOT

is a hybrid rock song with a strong message of getting rid of everything that oppresses me from making me fully myself, and it features a harsh distorted guitar sound and a groovy bassline.

Korean Lyrics by danke

Composed by KZ, Kim Tae Young, Byun Jihwan, Albin Nordqvist, Gabriel Brandes

Arranged by KZ, Kim Tae Young, Byun Jihwan

2. Breathe in Love

The most youthful love story, "Breathe in Love" is a song that expresses the uncontrollable feelings of pure love that can take your breath away. The song begins with a dreamy synth, followed by a bright and energetic drum beat and bass line, and EPEX's unique chanting melody, and the song is impressIVE with a haunting and addictIVE chorus melody that digs into your heart.

Korean Lyrics by RGB(라라라스튜디오), 못말(라라라스튜디오)

Composed by KZ, TaeYoung Kim, DINT, Jimmy Claeson

Arranged by KZ, Kim Tae Young

3. Painkiller

is a love song for a light-like being that melts the harsh pain of youth. The song is sung with a calm guitar sound and gradually heighTENs the emotions, maximizing the emotions with a grand chorus in the second half.

Korean Lyrics by Shinye (La La La La Studio)

Composed by KZ, Kim Tae Young, Andreas ?hrn

4. Dear Youth (Youth2Youth)

The title track "To Youth2Youth" is a 'youth song' that contains the stories that I would like to tell to other youths as a youth like no one else. The realistic and relatable lyrics are impressIVE, and the song maximizes EPEX's unique sensitivity, and the part where the EPEX members and a mixed choir of 20 peers chorus together in the second half is another point of the song.

5. DoMINAte

is a song that expresses the helplessness and despair of youths who are constantly being doMINAted by invisible forces. It is a song by EPEX's RAP UNIT (Geum Donghyun, Baekseung, Aiden, Jeff) and is a hip-hop song with a dreamy melody and understated arrangement.

6. Lay Up

is a song that expresses the strength and energy that only youth has, and the worries about the responsibilities that come with it. The groovy bass line and boom-bap style heavy drums are impressIVE, and the rock sound reversal in the ending composition adds to the fun of the song.

The pre-release song "Graduation Day" tells the story of the growth from a boy to a young man against the backdrop of a graduation ceremony, the last scene of boyhood. The song expresses the beautiful memories of boyhood and the overwhelming hope for the future with a nostalgic sound and an epic and soaring melody line, evoking sad but hopeful feelings in the lisTENer's heart.
