Summer Junky 04:43
금세 지나가버린 소나기처럼 난 이제 어젤 잊었다 눈부신 거리 위에 부유하는 인파 속 너를 보았다 유일한 희망 작열하는 태양 속에 내 손은 너의 품이 될 수 있을까 석양의 추억 나뭇가지 사이 흘러드는 빛은 모두 환상이 아닐까 얼룩진 그림자 속 내게 손을 흔드는 여름 무지개 어지러운 물줄기 속 부서질줄 모르는 너를 보았다 달이 뜨던 날 맥주향이 나는 농담 끝에서 너의 춤을 보고 있으면 새벽의 추억 아지랑이 피는 너의 눈빛은 모두 내 꿈이 아닐까 언젠가 이 긴 꿈에서 깨어나면 (깨어난다면 너를) 거짓말같던 삶은 또 널 속이겠지 아무런 고민없이 아무런 이유없이 모든걸 모든걸 ================================ Like a sudden shower that quickly passed,
 I’ve already forgotten yesterday.
 On the dazzling street,
 In the drifting crowd,
 I saw you. The only hope,
 Beneath the blazing sun,
 Could my hand
 Ever become your embrace? A memory of sunset,
 Light streaming through the branches—
 Could it all
Be nothing but illusion? In the stained shadows,
 A summer rainbow waves at me.
 In the dizzying streams of water,
 I saw you, unbroken. The night the moon arose,
 At the end of a beer-scented joke,
 While watching your dance— A memory of dawn,
 In the shimmering haze,
 Your gaze—
 Could it all be only my dream? Someday,
 When I wake from this long dream (if I wake to you), This life, like a lie, will deceive you again.
 With no worries,
 With no reasons,
 Everything,
 Everything…

아무런 고통없이 여기서 시작하지 이것또한 아니니 저것또한 아니지 더없이 넓은 우주 고독 속의 뜨거움 나를 발견한다면 모든 것이 하나네 저멀리 어딘가 부드럽게 퍼지는 따스한 햇살 속에서 나를 찾을 것 같은 너 (아무런 고통없이) (여기서 시작하지) (아무런 고통없이) (여기서 시작하지) =============== Without any pain,
 I begin here.
 It is not this,
 Nor is it that. An endlessly wide universe,
 The burning heat within solitude.
 If I discover myself,
 Then all becomes one. Somewhere far away,
 Gently spreading—
 Within the warm sunlight,
 I feel you will find me. (Without any pain)
 (I begin here)
 (Without any pain)
 (I begin here)

하루종일 무딘 다트를 던지는 건 재밌지 너의 몸 속 모든 세포는 어제를 기억하지 난 아직 멀었어 배운게 거의 없지 날 가르칠 누군가가 없나 아무 의욕이 없어 난 기대하고 있지 너흰 또 어떤 조언을 할까 넌 천국이 곧 올거라 믿지만 난 이제 지루해졌어 Where is my, My will? My will? 더럽혀진 거린 치워봐도 언제나 더러울 뿐 깨진 유리창을 만든건 너지 우리가 아냐 딱히 관심은 없어 난 거짓말이 싫지 넌 대체 무얼 바라고 있나 난 눈과 귀가 있어 나도 할말이 있지 오 이제 넌 화낼 것만 같아 넌 천국이 곧 올거라 믿지만 난 이제 지루해졌어 Where is my, My will? My will? 넌 천국이 곧 올거라 믿고 있지만 난 전부 지루해진것 같아 Where is my, My will? My will? ============================ It’s fun to throw dull darts all day long.
 Every cell in your body remembers yesterday.
 I’m still not enough.
 I’ve learned almost nothing.
 Is there no one to teach me?
 I have no drive.
 I’m waiting.
 What advice will you give this time? You believe heaven will soon arrive, But I’m already bored.
 Where is my,
 My will?
 My will? Even if you clean the filthy streets, They’re always dirty again.
 It was you who made the broken windows, not us.
 I don’t really care.
 I hate lies.
 What do you want?
 I’ve got eyes, I’ve got ears.
 I’ve got words.
 Oh, now you look ready to blow. You believe heaven will soon arrive,
 But I’m already bored.
 Where is my,
 My will?
 My will? You still believe heaven will soon arrive,
 But I’m tired of it all.
 Where is my,
 My will?

Sabina 03:40
끝과 끝이 마주하는 아침이 오면 아름답던 하늘의 색이 눈에 고여 어질러진 유리잔을 다 비우고 나서 곱게 다린 검은 옷을 몸에 걸치고 말라빠진 손에 낡은 시계를 차고 끝이 없는 행렬 속에 내 몸을 맡기면 난 가벼워 품 속에 하얀 꽃들을 안고 미처못한 말을 울컥 삼키고서 두 눈을 감고서 널 보려 했지만 왜 내 앞에서 너는 나타나질 않아 널 보고싶어졌지만 이제 그럴 수 없지만 넌 언제나 내 맘에 있어 가장 어두운 날 가장 밝은 날에 불현듯이 나를 찾는 너의 모습 난 외롭지 않아 난 두렵지 않아 넌 언제나 내 맘에 있어 가장 어두운 날 가장 밝은 날에 불현듯이 나를 찾는 너의 모습 난 외롭지 않아 난 두렵지 않아 =============================== When morning comes and the ends collide, The colors of the sky gather in my eyes.
 After draining all the scattered glasses, I put on neatly pressed black clothes, Fasten an old watch on my withered hands, And give myself to the endless procession, I feel light. Holding white flowers to my chest,
 I swallow the words I never spoke.
 Closing my eyes,
I tried to see you—
 But why won’t you appear to me?
 I wanted to see you,
 But now I’ll never be able to. You are always in my heart.
 On the darkest days, on the brightest days,
 When you suddenly come looking for me—
 I'm not lonely.
 I'm not afraid. You are always in my heart.
 On the darkest days, on the brightest days,
 When you suddenly come looking for me— I'm not lonely.
 I'm not afraid.

Melting Sun 05:27
무더운 태양 아래서 알 수 없는 그림자의 운명 부서진 선인장의 꽃 넌 볼 수 없나 전부 거짓인 것을 다정한 적 없는 곳 내 세상 속에서 두려운 것이 없나 너의 천국에서 잃어버린 건 없나 이 혼란 속에서 날 본 적이 없었나 그리움 속에서 잊어버린 건 없나 이 어둠 속에서 난 지옥을 보았지 너의 천국에서 ======================== Under the scorching sun,
 The shadow’s fate is unknown.
 The flower of a broken cactus—
 Can’t you see
 That it’s all a lie? In a place where kindness never was,
 Within my world,
 Is there nothing to fear
 In your heaven? Have you lost nothing
 In this chaos?
 Have you never seen me
 In your longing?
 Have you forgotten nothing
 In this darkness?
 I have seen hell
 In your heaven.

Good Night 08:38
어두운 빛이 내리면 난 미래를 볼 수 있지 불타는 해를 마주한 우리가 장님이듯이 지옥에 태어난 너에게 어떤 잘못이 있을까 오오 오오오 더러운 구름 속에는 푸르른 비를 품었네 모두가 낯선 이곳 난 구역질을 참고 그릇된 믿음속에 누가 구원자일지 그에겐 그늘 속의 고요를 원하지만 오오 오오오 우리는 기꺼이 태양을 마주보리라 볕이 들면 길었던 잠에서 깨네 부지런히 오르고 오르곤 하네 우린 적들의 위치를 기억하네 운명을 믿지 난 피투성이 되어 떨었던 나의 꿈 나를 불렀으니 그에 응한 것 뿐 눈을 감지만 실눈이 떠지네 그래 널 믿지만 어제 너가 산 신발이 맘에 들지 우린 잘먹고 잘살아 별일없이 우린 매일 밤 잠에 들어 고민없이 거짓말 거짓말 거짓말 일이 너무 많아 요즘 쉴 틈이 없지 인스타그램처럼 모두 잘 살고 있지 개미굴같지만 미래가 있지 거짓말 거짓말 거짓말 짙은 어둠의 끝에서 빛을 느낄수 있다면 저물어가는 검은 밤 오래된 품 속 잊을 수 없는 지난 꿈 끝없는 절망의 추억 다시 해가 떠오르네 어제와 같이 ================================== When the dark light falls, I can see the future.
 Like us facing the burning sun, blind as ever.
 What fault could there be for you, born in hell?
 Oh oh, oh oh oh…
 Inside the filthy clouds, blue rain is held. In this place where everyone feels like a stranger, I hold back my nausea.
 Within twisted faith, who could be the savior?
 He may want the silence of the shadows,
 Oh oh, oh oh oh…
 But we will face the sun willingly. When the sunlight comes, I wake from the long sleep.
 Climbing and climbing, I rise again and again.
 We remember the place of our enemies.
 I believe in fate.
 My blood-soaked, trembling dream—
 It called me, so I only answered.
 I close my eyes, but they half-open still.
 Yes, I believe in you. Yesterday, the shoes you bought didn’t please me.
 We eat well, live well, nothing goes wrong.
 Every night we fall asleep without a care.
 Lies, lies, lies.
 There’s too much work,
 No time to rest these days.
 Like on Instagram, everyone seems to live well.
 Like an ant nest, but still, there’s a future.
 Lies, lies, lies. At the end of the heavy darkness,
 If I could feel the light,
 Through the fading black night,
 In an old embrace,
 An unforgettable dream of the past,
 Memories of endless despair,
 The sun rises again,
 Just like yesterday.

about

Pre-release track "Swim" from The Cracker’s debut album Heaven

Full album available exclusively on Bandcamp – Sept 3
Worldwide release on all streaming platforms – Sept 5

This album was like a room for me. I closed the windows, locked the door, and spoke only with sound, trying to find my own version of heaven.

Heaven, born in a small room, is a record of a long journey where psychedelic rock, grunge, vintage pop, and lo-fi indie converge. Every instrument was played alone, leaving the raw emotions of first takes intact. What began in anxiety and fear gradually turned into a meditation on life, death, and hope.

South Korea is known for its dazzling K-Pop, but behind that façade lies the reality of countless young people shaken by relentless competition and uncertainty. Heaven is their reflection. Within these songs live the isolation, despair, and escapism I experienced — and yet, also the love and hope I had to hold onto.

The question in “Where Is My Will?” is the voice of survival, clinging on even as strength fades. “Swim” drifts in a current of helplessness, yet struggles to stay afloat. “Sabina” faces death and farewell, but ultimately becomes a song of comfort for those left behind — the beating heart of the album.

Heaven was never about creating a perfect sound. It was about seeking truth within the cracks — in the moments that falter, fracture, and remain incomplete. Because it is in that imperfection where I find the most honest proof that I am alive.

May this record become a small room for you as well — a place where you can close the door on the noise of the world, and find your own questions and answers.

Thank you for listening and supporting
