South Korean indie band SURL has returned with an exciting new single “HYPNOSIS,” an almost five-minute track with head-banging guitar riffs and addictive beats.

This is the band’s first release in over a year, since their successful 2022 album of us. In 2023, SURL also had an eventful year, kicking off their North American tour across 13 cities in the US and Canada in April to take them to the global stage. This was followed by a six-city Asia tour, and a “Korea Spotlight” showcase in Mexico, followed by additional shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
