The band ONEWE completed a musical map that captures the scenario of dreams and passion.
ONEWE (Yonghoon, Kanghyun, Harin, Dongmyeong, Giuk) released the full-length third album 面 : Unknown Atlas (Myeon : Unknown Atlas) tracks and the title track Scenario music video on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 19th.
This album is the finale of ONEWE's ongoing 'point·line·plane' series. The point that began with the second single 點 : The Quiver passes through the line of the digital single 線 : The Wake, finally expanding into an organic discography that completes into a single vast plane and map.
The title track Scenario sings about the process of regaining long-forgotten dreams and passion. It contains a strong will not to accept a given ending, but to become an autonomous narrator and newly write one's own story.
Based on alternative rock, lyrical piano melodies and grand string sounds blend harmoniously, while the drums and guitar sounds that surge densely toward the song's second half complete a dynamic band performance and deliver a dramatic sense of immersion.
"go to the most beautiful page / write a pretty ending / from now on the sequel you and I make / all of this is my scenario"
ONEWE conveys a deep emotional line like a film. Beyond tragedy or a predetermined happy ending, it highlights a new beginning and a confident sense of anticipation. The assertive lyrics perfectly dovetail with the music video's visual direction. Unlike the past depiction of cutting and pasting old film in the projection room to tailor past lives, the space on the screen features members directly creating new scenarios in unpredictable developments that elevate the song's narrative.
As a full-length album, the tracklist is abundant. 'Tinker Bell' sings about the shining fairy of Neverland; 'Fairy Tale' is like a letter offered to those who fear the unwritten tomorrow; 'Lilliput' conveys the message that there is no need to compare oneself with anyone; 'Laputa' tells the story of an island that began to move on its own to protect a precious being; 'Bloody Pinocchio (Pinocchio)' talks about the process of becoming an adult while hiding individual wounds; 'Imposter' portrays a being that overturns established rules and crosses the boundary between real and fake; 'STAND UP' is a vow to wake the self that has been asleep to change the world; 'Beautiful Runaway' sings of a great attraction toward each other that needs no reason; 'Just You' is a passionate confession to the one person who led to the most dazzling moment at the end of a long wandering; 'Beyond the Night' starts a journey toward a new story leaving past pages behind; 'The End.' promises the next meeting with an unchanged heart; and through previously released tracks 'Coordinates', 'Compass', ICARUS, FLY, and 'Neverland', listeners can feel ONEWE's wide musical spectrum.
While completing their own solid album narrative, ONEWE proved limitless concept adaptability. Their future steps will be closely watched.
