You or Me is the debut studio album by South Korean post-punk duo Kuang Program. The album was released on 8 August 2013.[1] [2]

Background

In 2012, Kuang Program released two EPs, This is The End of Us and (For City) Special Demo.[3] The cover image of the album is a certain erasure of the duo's photos, and Choi Taehyeon explained that he was trying to create "an image where you become me and I become you."[4]

Critical reception

Choi Minwoo of Weiv reviewed "the album seems to be desperately trying to go beyond its context, and that the moments when the effort is rewarded are heard."[5] Cho Jihwan of Tonplein described You or Me as an album describing noise as a result of a common situation in which several people gather and live in one place.[6]
