Can’t Find Leenalchi on Your Streaming Service? Here’s Why
Hey everyone!
A lot of you have been asking on social media why Leenalchi’s music isn’t available on some streaming platforms in Europe and North America.
Well, there’s a simple answer:
Leenalchi has recently signed to a record label called Luaka Bop (hi guys!), which was founded by David Byrne.
There’s going to be a short window when some of Leenalchi’s music won’t be available outside of Asia and Australia. But don’t worry. It will be back up soon.
In the meantime, we are super excited to announce Leenalchi touring Europe and North America in 2026. If you want them to come visit your hometown, send them a note with a request here — and we will try to make it happen.
Today, we share Leenalchi’s new music video for their single “HERE COMES THAT CROW.”
Leenalchi member Ahn Yi Ho wrote a lyrical poem together with his bandmates to help you interpret the song’s meaning:
도용도용은 작은 배가 물위를 떠가는 모양을 그린 말이다. 조조도 조자룡도 쫓기는 자도 쫓는 자도 멈출수는 없다. 판자때기 아래가 저승인데 어느 누가 멈춰 설 수 있겠는가!
Doyung doyung goes the small boat seen floating down the river. Whether the chased or the chaser, no one can stop—just beneath the boards lies the underworld!
LEENALCHI’s new EP, “HERE COMES THAT CROW,” is out June 12!
