From The Airport is a South Korean indie band duo formed in 2012. The band consists of Milo (guitar, bass, vocals, synthesizers, producing) and Zee (DJing, vocals, synthesizers, drums, producing).

History

Formation

Milo was focused in film music production and recording guitars for various rock/pop tracks, and Zee was concentrating on his DJ producing team, Banana Dynamite, while composing for the K-pop music scene when they coincidentally met at a friend's basement studio early 2012. The two immediately realized that their musical instincts were parallel, and scheduled a jam session, in which their eventual first single track 'Colors' was crystallized.

After a while, the duo named the team 'From The Airport', with the meaning of amplifying musical messages to listeners around the world and to capture the starting point of emotions, which they deemed to be airports.[1]

Debut Single

In October 2012, From The Airport released their debut single album, 'Colors,' with the title track of the same name. The track was mixed by From The Airport and mastered by Chris Athens at Chris Athens Masters.

'Colors' received positive reviews from listeners and blogs not just in South Korea, but also from around the world.[2] From The Airport's video for 'Colors' was instantly addictive with an electro-indie-rock mixture of music.[2]

Rising Popularity from 'Timelines'

A few months after releasing their second single album "Everyone's All Right," From The Airport returned with its third single track '"Timelines." The track was once again received well by the public, being reviewed in multiple publications from all around the world, and being compared to bands such as Two Door Cinema Club, Passion Pit and Strange Talk.[3]

From The Airport was selected as May 2013's hidden artist of the month by Bugs Music, one of the top music distributors in South Korea.[4]

Label

In June 2013, From The Airport signed with Fluxus Music.

Major Debut

In February 2014, From The Airport debuted into the major scene with their first EP album, 'Chemical Love.'
