about
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. Footage of Zzzaam's live performances find band members abusing guitars with drumsticks, a move lifted from Thurston Moore and company. They disbanded in 2004 but returned in 2022.
