The surf-inspired indie rock/pop quartet from Busan, South Korea release their sophomore album ‘Where we were together’ on Damnably/ Electric Muse April 13th, recorded by Chun Hakju at Mushroom Recording in Seoul & Mastered by Matthew Barnhart at Chicago Mastering Service.

Friends since 5th grade Jaeyoung Ha (Bass) and Byungkyu Kim (guitar) met drummer Semin Kang at high school and played in bands together since winter of 2012, when one day they were drinking tea and beer at a tea shop in Nampo-dong, and Sumi Choi arrived. They liked her speaking voice and immediately offered her a spot as the vocalist in a new band that would become Say Sue Me. Sumi turned out to be a natural at songwriting. Semin sadly suffered trauma from a fall. New drummer Changwon Kim stands in while they await Semin’s recovery.

The album could not be anything but a tribute to and dealing with the emotional fallout of losing a friend and band-mate.

“We made 5 of the songs on Where We Were Together with Semin before his accident, and of the remaining songs on the album 4 of them (LET IT BEGIN, FUNNY AND CUTE, B LOVER, ABOUT THE COURAGE TO BECOME SOMEONE’S PAST) are about Semin or made with him in mind.
Although we can't be together right now, we decided to give the album this title because it reminded us of everything we've shared with Semin. And what's more, sometimes we've thought if we make this album a wish to return to the place we were together, some powerful spell might rise up. Who knows if it's even possible but sometimes we think maybe it could work.”

The bands main influences are 60’s Surf and 90’s Indie-Rock, and the sound on ‘Where we were together’ is more polished partly due to the recording in a proper studio for the first time and partly because they’ve grown more confident and ambitious with their compositions.
