Blues band Choi Hang-seok and Boogie Monsters will release their fourth full-length album, 'Human Scramble', on July 3 at 6 p.m. via various online music platforms.

The album features a total of 10 tracks, including the title track 'Dead End', 'Human Scramble', 'Swamp of Love', 'Love Song Blues', 'Diabetes', 'Vegan Boy', 'A Story Only Remembering This Song' featuring singer Jeong In, 'Cheeseburger Blues', 'Gunsan Blues', and 'I Be With You'. The album captures the emotions experienced and felt by the members over recent years within the blues genre, conveying messages of despair and hatred, love, hope, gratitude, and comfort in human relationships.

The title track 'Dead End' was completed using a one-take live recording method with all members performing simultaneously. 'Swamp of Love' and 'Love Song Blues' blend brass sounds with Korean sensibilities based on musical inspiration received in New Orleans, while 'Diabetes', 'Vegan Boy', and 'Cheeseburger Blues' are songs that reinterpret daily life through the blues genre.

Some parts of the album were recorded at Royal Studios in Memphis, USA. Grammy-winning producer Boo Mitchell handled recording and mixing for select tracks, and American Boogie Monsters members Rick Short, Danny Williams, and Federico Samuel participated in the performance.

The cover artwork features the painting 'Human Scramble' by artist Lee Ho-seop, sharing the same title as the album. The work visually expresses the complex relationships entangled between people.

Music critic Cho Il-dong, editor-in-chief of Music Taste Y, stated, "Choi Hang-seok and Boogie Monsters' fourth album is a magical record that transforms daily sadness (blue) into the strength (blues) to endure life," adding, "It is a work that worships the lives of ordinary people who persevere through each day amidst worldly storms through blues."

Choi Hang-seok and Boogie Monsters said, "We aimed to express the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness arising from various human relationships. Although we included diverse stories such as despair, hatred, and love, our ultimate goal was to convey messages of hope and gratitude. We hope this album brings small comfort and help to your lives."
