SAILOR HONEYMOON ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM THE WORST OF SAILOR HONEYMOON
Share New Single "I Wanna Leave You"
Produced by Luke Smith (Foals, Shura, Depeche Mode), mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Parquet Courts, Temples) and mastered by Katie Tavini, The Worst Of Sailor Honeymoon expands Sailor Honeymoon's world without sacrificing the spontaneity, humour and humanity that first defined the band.
Over the last three years, Sailor Honeymoon have grown from a loose creative experiment into one of the most distinctive bands to emerge from Korea's independent music scene in recent years. Their blend of humour and uncompromising self-expression has made them one of the defining bands of Korea's underground, taking their music from Seoul DIY spaces to festival stages across Europe and beyond.
"We don't need to be perfect," says vocalist and drummer Abi Raymaker. "We just want to make something meaningful. A lot of cultural things exported from Korea to an international audience are held to an incredibly high standard. They look perfect, sound perfect and feel very carefully controlled. We wanted to make something that felt human."
Across thirteen songs, Sailor Honeymoon create what they describe as an "alternate world" - a place where difficult situations can be met with humour and people are free to say exactly what they think. It's a record that finds the band confronting modern life with equal measures of wit, warmth and exasperation.
Many of the songs draw directly from life in Korea. “Extinction” reflects on the pressures and impossibilities of modern Korean society, while “Red” takes inspiration from a Korean medicinal candy (홍삼) before opening into something much broader. Throughout the album, distinctly local experiences become starting points for stories that feel universal.
For a band that never intended to become a band, the story of Sailor Honeymoon has unfolded in much the same way as their music: naturally, and largely by accident.
The band began through a series of informal jam sessions in Seoul, bringing together women musicians from the local independent scene to write songs, swap instruments and experiment without expectations. Abi and guitarist and vocalist Zaeeun Shin weren't necessarily trying to start a band, but enjoyed making music without expectations.
After an invitation from a friend to play a local festival, needing a setlist for the festival gave the project its first real shape. Alongside that, Abi, producer Luke Smith, and the band’s manager Russ Crank were talking about starting their own DIY label to try to create more opportunities for cross-cultural exchange between the UK and Korea. Without ever consciously deciding to become a band, Sailor Honeymoon slowly became one, and signed to Abi, Luke, and Russ’s newly created Good Good 굿굿 Records. Zaeeun and Abi were joined by bassist Yelim Kim to complete the band’s lineup.
While much of the world's understanding of Korean music has been shaped by the global success of K-pop, Sailor Honeymoon represent a very different side of contemporary Korean culture - one rooted in community, experimentation and independence. In a scene where infrastructure for independent artists remains limited, the trio have built an audience through live shows, word of mouth and songs that connect through honesty and wit rather than polish.
"We're not trying to represent everyone," says Abi. "We're just trying to represent ourselves. We want people to see that there are different kinds of women in Korea making different kinds of music and expressing themselves in different ways."
The Worst Of Sailor Honeymoon is released on 14 August 2026 via Good Good 굿굿 Records / [PIAS].
