Background
Nell is a South Korean K-Indie Rock group. Fun fact: Their name comes from an Academy Award nominated film called "NELL". They formed in 1999 and were discovered by Seo-Tai Ji in 2002. In 2006 they moved to Woolim Entertainment. They are heavily influenced by British bands like Muse, Radiohead and Placebo. They are best know for their gloomy and dark sound. They gained popularity with their song called "Stay" and "Thank You" and more recently "Ocean of Light". Their albums have always been a huge success in the industry and their album "Healing Process" was nominated one of five best recordings of the year by south korean critics.

Music Videos
One of my absolute favourite thing about Nell is their music videos. Their always mind blowing and fantastically directed music videos. Each one is a piece of art and should be rewatched over and over again *cue replay button*. Here are four of my favourite ones.
NELL - THE DAY BEFORE
NELL - OCEAN OF LIGHT
NELL - FOUR TIMES AROUND THE SUN
(my personal favourite)
