ZzzAam

ZzzAam (잠) is a Korean shoegaze band formed in the late '90s, hailing from the arts-centric Hongdae region of Seoul. Their self-released album "Requiem #1" appeared in 2002, followed two years later by their second and final release, "Mirror Game." Their consistently downtempo compositions were simply truth in advertising; Zzzaam is the Anglicization of a Korean word meaning "sleep." The group claimed inspiration from the 1960s experimentalists in the Velvet Underground and that group's spiritual descendants in Sonic Youth.
