I know a lot of the older fans miss the purely acoustic/folky sound they debuted with, but I think the complexity and layering they’ve achieved since adding more synth and electronic elements (especially in their recent mini-albums) really elevates their songwriting. Anyone else feel like this more sophisticated, almost indie-pop/electronic sound (think 'Nakatomi Plaza' vibes) suits Chanhyuk and Suhyun’s unique tones better than just guitar/piano? What do you think about the shift?
