Korean producer Park Hye Jin releases her long awaited second EP on Ninja Tune! Recently celebrated by Mixmag as "one of last year's breakout stars", "How Can I" is the result of an incredible 18 months in which Park Hye Jin went from releasing her debut EP to appearing at legendary venues like Panorama Bar in Berlin and the Dc-10 in Ibiza. She also played prominent slots at major international festivals such as Primavera, Dour, Melt! and received a personal invitation from Jamie XX to play alongside him in London last year. The six tracks on "How Can I", which were mainly completed on the road during 2019, while touring Europe, North America and Australia for the first time, show the variety of styles and influences in her previous work. On “Like This”, she pairs her own singing with dreamlike surfaces and grainy, driving rhythms. Elsewhere, the atmospheric techno of "no" and the footwork-inspired "How Come" show an artist who feels comfortable crossing her own boundaries and resolutely moving beyond all ideas of categorization. No matter which direction you go, the tracks on "How Can I" are permeated with subtlety and emotion.
