OneWE, a K-rock band under entertainment label RBW, initially did not intend to create a 17-track album. The youngest band member had a desire to produce a full-length record, and this concept continued to resurface. Bassist Giuk explained that the idea gained momentum, gradually expanding until it became a substantial project. The album, titled "面: Unknown Atlas," concluded a five-month journey for the five-piece group.
The band's theme of the album is derived from the Chinese characters representing point, line, and plane. Their debut single, "点: The Quiver," and the digital single "线: The Wake" initiated the album's journey, leading to the release of all 17 tracks. Twelve of these tracks are original compositions, while the remaining five carry over from previous releases such as "Coordinates," "Compass," and "Neverland."
Each song on the new studio album reimagines a fairy tale. "Lilliput" challenges the idea of measuring oneself against others, "Laputa" contemplates an autonomous moving island safeguarding its treasures, and "Pinocchio" traces the growth of a boy who conceals his true identity.
