South Korean indie rock band wave to earth—trio of Daniel KimJohn ChaDong Q—return with a taste of new music, “heaven and hell.” 

“Each person has their own version of heaven and hell,” Cha details. “But the world cannot be divided in a binary form. Rather than trying to find a heaven and hell… what’s most important is trying to find out how we should live in our current life.”

The official video for “heaven and hell” was shot in Mexico, a place dear to the band. Directed by Argentinian filmmaker Maureen Hufnagel, it tells a moving story of two brothers in a small Mexican town, a portrait of love, courage and bravery in growing up. 

“We went to Mexico for the first time on our last tour, in 2025,” says Kim. “When we arrived there, we felt a special sort of feeling. Hard to describe. When we finished making ‘heaven and hell,’ we felt an energy in the air that reminded us of the scenery of Mexico, the air we felt in Mexico…”

The trio debuted in 2019 and have gone on to captivate a global audience—selling out shows across North America, Europe, and Asia. Their latest single “heaven and hell” is the first taste of new music since play with earth! 0.03 (2024). The EP debuted at #5 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut Global Chart and found the band on a fully sold-out tour across North America.

They have released EPs wave 0.01 (2020) and summer flows 0.02 (2020), and their first full-length album, 0.1 flaws and all (2023) arrived following signing to independent label, WAVY. The much-lauded album included breakout single “bad” which soared to #1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Global Chart. The band has gone on to accumulate over 7 million monthly listeners on Spotify, more than 500 million streams of their hit “seasons,” and perform hundreds of shows around the world, including Lollapalooza in Chicago, Chile and India.

Further new music from the band is imminent.
