Noisecat (a.k.a. Seokho Zeon 전석호) is a Korean rock musician that famous for his bohemian like life style. When he lived in London, England for years, his very first self titled EP, entitled 'Noisecat (Dark Horse, 2002)' was released. It contained five original songs that presents his interest of Lo-Fi guitar-pop, sixties garage rock alike style.

In early 2005, the first full-length LP 'Chiswick Reach... (Tubeamp Records)' was released, which had been recorded in Seoul, Korea and mixed and mastered in London, England. It contained 10 songs that has full of simple but effectively poppy tunes about love and sadness, is swept along by his jangling fuzz guitar and plain voice.

After promoting the LP, he went on to travel again to Europe and Brazil for few months. That inspired him to make very primitive and improvised music. Early American blues and gospel influenced 2nd LP 'Morning Lights (Lollipop 2006)' was recorded live within 3 days in studios without any rehearsals. And the musicians who had sessions with noisecat, was given the songs on the same day as they were recorded.

As one of his hobbies, a great pleasure, recording ambient sounds likes of moving train, sound in planes and the sound of cities etc. onto a voice recorder when traveling made him to make ambient album 'My Best Friend (noisecat music, 2006)', which has minimal approach that only included improvised electric guitar playing and ambient sound that he recorded around England.

After the journey, he's uploading demo version of his new songs as free downloadable Mp3 format on the web (blog.naver.com/noisecat, myspace.com/noisecatmusic) and recording the new LP, working titled 'Lonesome Airlines'.

Again, he carried around a portable recorder as he traveled through Europe, India, Cuba, and Vietnam and recorded whatever sounds he heard there, while also writing the songs that made up the album. The title of the album - is like the prelude and the antidote to the Monday blues, through which people can listen to the sounds from the far away places he’s visited and take off on an imaginary trip on the Sunday Sunset Airlines.
