2012 is the first and only studio album by South Korean indie rock band Mukimukimanmansu. The album was released on 27 April 2012.[1]

Background

Mukimukimanmansu is a band formed in 2011 and has created a big topic by achieving the top spot in Naver's real-time search word with their unique music.[2] Numerous media outlets described them as a "menboong (Korean: 멘붕, South Korean Internet slang for mental breakdown)" band and noted the unique chorus of one of their songs, "Andromeda."[3][4][5][6] The song later entered the album's first track.

Kim Banya of IZM described the album as "the definition of indie music is being broken down."[7] Park Joohyeok of Weiv reviewed "In all areas, 'internality', 'magic', and 'primitive local characteristics' appear evenly. At this point, even if it is a bizarre item, it is worth having a variety of special items. So this album, it's definitely a good acid folk album."[8] The member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Lee Minhee said "They are a very unusual band who reminds people not to overuse the expression of ingenuity", and nominated it for best modern rock album.[5]
