Parannoul biography
Parannoul is one of several pseudonyms that have been used by an anonymous South Korean shoegaze musician who was born in Seoul in 2001, and who describes himself as "just a student writing music in my bedroom". As of May 2025, he has released four solo albums under this pseudonym.

In addition to his solo work, he has collaborated with other shoegaze musicians, including Shin Gyeongwon (aka Asian Glow) of South Korea, and Lua Viana (aka sonhos tomam contam) from S�o Paulo, Brazil. He also quite recently worked with the Philippine-based international rap group Fax Gang to jointly release the album Scattersun in June 2024.

The musician behind Parannoul has also worked under several other pseudonyms, releasing an album called Rough and Beautiful Place as Mydreamfever in January 2022, as well as more than a dozen releases as laststar between late 2017 and mid-2019, all of which have now been deleted.

Parannoul released his first solo album Let's Walk on the Path of a Blue Cat in 2020, followed by To See the Next Part of the Dream in 2021. His work in collaboration with Asian Glow and sonhos tomam conta also took place in 2021, with him contributing four tracks to the split album 'Downfall of the Neon Youth', which was released via the Michigan-based shoegaze specialist label Longinus Recordings on October 22nd of that year.

Parannoul's first live performance was during a one-off concert involving five other prominent Korean artists, who performed as the Digital Dawn collective at Rolling Hall, Mapo-gu, Seoul, on 14th August 2022. The other five artists were Asian Glow, Brokenteeth, Wapddi, Della Zyr and Fin Fior, and the concert apparently sold out in 30 seconds, leading to the tiny Shinbo Building in the Seogyo-dong neighbourhood of Mapo-gu being completely overwhelmed by the 350 fans who managed to buy tickets.

The third Parannoul solo album After the Magic followed a few months later, being released on January 28, 2023. Two singles called "Gold River" and "Painless" were then released on May 9th and July 12th 2024 respectively, followed by album number four Sky Hundred on August 3rd of that year.

In March 2025, an album called Seeking Darkness was released under the alias Huremic, this album having a post-rock sound comparable to artists such as Sigur R�s and receiving widespread praise on a number of review-based music sites.
