Yangbans Pre-release Unreleased Track 'Long & Short'... A Musical Attempt Containing Jangdan and Pungryu

The band Yangbans has revealed their unique musical color through an unreleased track. Through the EBS 1TV 'EBS Space' channel, Yangbans pre-released a portion of 'Long & Short', a track to be included in their fifth EP scheduled for release in 2026.

Variations of Jangdan and Long & Short, 'Long & Short'

According to the description of the released video, the new song 'Long & Short' takes the basics of Pungryu—jangdan (traditional rhythmic patterns) and long and short (Long & Short)—as its theme. Jeon Beom-seon was in charge of the lyrics, while Yangbans directly performed the composition and arrangement. The music in the video shows patterns of utilizing the contrast between long and short as musical elements, much like the song's title, while varying traditional jangdan rhythms such as 'deong-gi-deok kung-deo-reo deong-gi-deok kung-deok'.

In the introduction of the voice-transcribed video, the sounds of the bass and drums are emphasized, and expressions such as 'Go fast and slow, stop and go' appear along with the lyrics 'Long and short'. This shows that the contrast of long and short, which is the theme of the song, is also implemented through the lyrics. Additionally, phrases that vary jangdan rhythms such as 'dong-gi-dong-gong-deok' appear repeatedly, melting traditional rhythmic sense into a modern musical flow.

Preview of the Fifth EP in 2026 and Broadcast Schedule

This pre-release is meaningful in that it provides a preview of the flow of the fifth EP that Yangbans are preparing for release in 2026. The channel guided that the song contains a musical flow themed around the return of Noizegarden and the Pungryu of Yangbans.

Through this song, Yangbans are building a unique musical world by mentioning in the lyrics musical attempts that are different from existing rock and roll and have a different texture from computers. The full content of this stage can be checked through the EBS 1TV 'EBS Space' broadcast on Wednesday, September 30 at 10:50 PM, and viewing it again through the EBS Space website will be possible afterward.
