Stray Kids Spotlights Self-Produced Sound Ahead of 'THIS & THAT' Release

Stray Kids is offering fans an early look at its upcoming mini album "THIS & THAT," highlighting the group's signature self-produced approach ahead of its August comeback.

The eight-member group will release the album and its title track of the same name on Aug. 7 at 1 p.m. KST. Ahead of the launch, Stray Kids unveiled the first installment of its signature "UNVEIL : TRACK" series, featuring album track "FARMING." The teaser surpassed 1 million YouTube views within two days of its release.

"FARMING" was written and composed by in-house production unit 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin and Han — with Bang Chan also participating in the arrangement. Built around powerful electronic production, the preview offers a glimpse of the group's latest musical direction.

Every track on "THIS & THAT," including pre-release single "RUN IT," features songwriting credits from 3RACHA, continuing the group's long-standing involvement in crafting its own music.

Following the album's release, Stray Kids will launch its "RUN IT" world tour with five sold-out concerts at Seoul's KSPO DOME beginning July 25. The group is also set to headline Rock in Rio in Brazil and its own "STRAYCITY" festival in Latin America this September.
