Korean-American singer-songwriter and producer NoSo officially arrived at the KEXP studios to deliver a powerful four-song set following the release of their sophomore album ‘When Are You Leaving?’. Backed by a full band—including Anna Bettendorf on keyboards, Jade Fink on bass, and Corey Gordon on drums—vocalist and guitarist Baek Hwong navigated through a sonic landscape that traded the daydreams of their debut for a firm grounding in reality. The performance featured the high-octane “You’re No Man” and the disco-inflected “Sugar”—a track that expertly masks heavy themes of volatile interpersonal dynamics within a shimmering, eighties-inspired groove. Between the jagged guitar work of “Nara” and the atmospheric tension of the closer “Let It Die”, the session highlighted a significant technical evolution for the Los Angeles-based artist.
