The album was released on 7 September 2021.[3] South Korean singer-songwriter Aseul featured two tracks - Shadow (그림자) and Eternity (영원),[4] and the album won The Best Modern Rock Album at the 2022 Korean Music Awards.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Park Byeongwoon of Music Y reviewed "Just like the flow of Stream of Consciousness, their previous album, The Borderline Between Hope and Despair also leaves a strong and faint lingering feeling as if it were poking the lungs."[6] The member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Hong Jeongtaek described the album as "The Borderline Between Hope and Despair is a heavy resonance album with maturity, reflection, and a bit of romance", and the album won Best Modern Rock Album.[5]
