NELL is a South Korean rock band that has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated following for their distinctive blend of atmospheric rock and emotive lyrics. Formed in 1999, the band consists of lead vocalist and guitar player Kim Jong-wan, bassist Lee Jung-hoon, guitarist Lee Jae-kyong, and drummer Jung Jae-won. Their sound has evolved over the years but remains rooted in a melancholic and introspective realm that resonates deeply with their fans, often dealing with themes of existential dread, love, and the human condition.

Over the years, NELL has released a steady stream of music that showcases their versatility and artistic growth. Among their recent work is "Dystopian's Eutopia," which encapsulates their ability to craft expansive, thought-provoking soundscapes. "Moon Shower," "Wanderer," and "The beauty of acceptance" further exemplify their lyrical poignancy coupled with lush instrumental arrangements. The band's commitment to exploring the nuances of human emotion is evident in the diverse offerings of their "NEW FESTA EPISODE.5" and the contemplative "Moments in between." NELL also demonstrates their foray into multimedia by providing the hauntingly beautiful "Glow in the Dark" for a game soundtrack. With tracks like "Don't hurry up" and the evocative "Let's Part (Japanese Version)," NELL continues to solidify their status as influential storytellers in the Korean alternative music scene and beyond.
