paper ceilings cover album

I’m releasing an album of covers of Paper Ceilings, a friend and favorite of mine. I’ve always played their songs live and never really given them the ‘studio recording’ treatment — until now! On the album cover, you can see me and Jesse Ceilings himself enjoying a KBO baseball game in May 2024. Download it here or listen below!

‘Paper Ceilings’ 밴드 커버곡 담긴 앨범을 준비했다! 이 밴드의 노래를 자주 라이브로 연주했는데 드디어 ‘스튜디오’에서 녹음하게 되었다.

1 Until Now (off ‘A Band Playing Downstairs’)

2 Cool T-Shirt (off ‘Cool T-Shirt & Cat Café’)

3 Bagel Time (off ‘Funny You Should Stop By’)

4 Maybe Later (off ‘Funny You Should Stop By’)

5 Walking Is Good 4 U (off ‘A Pretty Good Time’)

beach boys love you full album cover

Ding dang! Lechat Vous Aime is a full cover of The Beach Boys’ 1977 album Love You. I couldn’t wait until the anniversary of the album on April 11 to release it. Some songs feature altered lyrics, notably Johnny Carson which has been changed into a tribute to Brian Wilson. And the album art was made in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You can download the album here.

드디어 내 Beach Boys 커버 앨범이 나왔다. 1977년 Love You 풀앨범을 커버한 것이다. 수정된 가사도 있다. 특히 Johnny Carson은 Brian Wilson에 관한 노래로 바꿨다. 그리고 아트는 동물의 숲 게임에서 만들었다!

김환기 화가에 대한 싱글이 나왔다! 부암동에 있는 환기박물관을 드디어 방문했고 즐겁게 구경했다. 그정도 좋아해서 노래를 작곡했다.

beck cover, other electronic projects

I recorded a cover of Beck’s funk masterpiece, Debra. Download it here or listen below!

Recently, I started performing electronic covers at open mic as something fresh and unique, so below are videos of me doing a Kero Kero Bonito medley, as well as The Beach Boys’ Let’s Put Our Hearts Together, as I’ve been working on a full album cover of their 1977 alum Love You for a while now, which I plan to release in the spring!

요즘 이렉트로닉 커버송을 만드는 것을 좋아한다. 오픈 마이크에서 우쿨렐레 보다 그냥 노래를 부르는 것을 편이다. 올해 이런 커버송을 여러가지 하는 것을 예정이다. 감사합니다!

more songs about cats AND coffee!

That’s right, Le chat au café lives up to their name! A ukulele version of my electropop classic Cat Mom, as well as a new one called Waiting For Coffee inspired by Diners’ Waiting For Music, with its own music video. Download them both here or listen to Waiting for Coffee below!

르샤오카페가 고양이 (프랑스어: 샤)와 커피 (카페)에 대한 노래 두 곡을 만들었다!

happy lechatoween

Halloween is when I started playing music, and I like macabre stuff, so I always wanna play something around this time of year. Download here are a couple songs I made or listen to I’m Sorry Spider below!

live Jeju performances and event page update

Hello! At the end of summer, I visited Jeju and filmed little performances, mostly around Gimnyeong, of summery Le chat au café songs and Jeju-themed original songs from previous albums.

이번 여름에 제주 김녕해수욕장의 아름다운 풍경 앞에 연주를 하고 영상도 찍었다!

In addition, I have updated the events page to include links to previous performances, including full-set recordings. In the most recent one, I played covers of The Beach Boys, Lee Lang and Françoise Hardy!

사이트 업데이트도 했다. 유튜브 공연 영상 링크를 추가했다. 최근에 비치보이스, 이랑, 프랑수아즈 아르디 커버송 공연도 포함이다!

new travelogue album

Last year, Le chat au café traveled to Hokkaido, and the resulting travelogue album is the 45-song Hokkaido. It’s separated into six parts, and I made an accompanying vlog-style music video for each disc! You can download it here or watch it on YouTube in the videos below. Thank you!

first guitar album

Finally, Le chat au café’s first guitar album is here! It’s something new, while at the same time being my own ‘get back’ album, since many of these songs are extremely rough. I would describe this album best as ‘ugly but honest’ and I’m extremely happy with how it turned out. Thank you for listening!

드디어 르샤오카페 첫 기타 앨범이 놔왔습니다! 새로운 것인데 옛날 처럼 작곡했습니다. 노래들이 ‘못생긴’ 것 같지만 솔직합니다. 저는 완료 잘 해서 마족합니다.
