NEW SINGLE: WIM 'Weirdo' + Announces 'NOICE' Album
Thai Indie artist WIM releases heartfelt new single ‘Weirdo’
+ Announces debut album NOICE
+ Australian shows at SXSW Sydney this October
WIM, also known as Karn Kasidej Hongladaromp, is a distinguished musician, producer, and songwriter from Bangkok, Thailand. Previously recognised as Karn of HYBS, he's made a lasting impression on Asia's indie music scene from 2021 to 2024 with hit tracks like ‘Tip Toe’, ‘Ride’, ‘Dancing With My Phone’, and ‘Killer’. Now, he continues his musical journey with the reflective question ‘Who Is Me’, inspiring his newly branded solo stage name, ‘WIM’.
As an artist, songwriter, composer, and producer, Karn has made a mark with his soul-soothing blend of indie pop, soul, and R&B and beyond in the dreamy shades of previous singles 'Mr. Feelgood', ‘All The Way Home’ and ‘Magic’. WIM plans to take his listeners to explore emotions from within before an album release. The heartfelt track ‘Weirdo, out Wednesday 18 September, is the final single ahead of WIM’s debut LP album NOICE out October 2 Wednesday, ahead of his debut shows in Australia as part of SXSW Sydney with his full band.
‘Weirdo’ conceptualises how one can become a weirdo when they fall in love. Presenting the new shade of WIM’s iconic artistic style and arrangement. The materials in this track are designed to be simple, less synthesised to portray human aspects and stick to the main concept of how love impacts someone in mysterious ways while also emphasising the relatable insecurities and lack of confidence of a human when it comes to love. Written from the point-of-view of a shy protagonist, in other words, Karn himself at some point in life.
