The project launched with the self-released LP Gongjoong Doduk (2015), with the follow-up Crumbling (2018) becoming widely cited as one of the most important indie folk and experimental albums of the late 2010s. The album received international attention through online discovery and word-of-mouth, despite minimal label support or promotional infrastructure. Mid-Air Thief has declined to participate in conventional artist promotional activities and the artist's actual name remains private. The project incorporates guest vocalist contributions, including Korean indie singer-songwriter Summer Soul on Crumbling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMid-Air Thief's sound combines indie folk, experimental folk, psychedelic folk, electronic folk, Korean indie, and ambient with extensive layered acoustic instrumentation, electronic processing, and atmospheric production drawing on classic folk music traditions alongside contemporary experimental and electronic music influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGongjoong Doduk (2015, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrumbling (2018, self-released)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-released pressings of the Mid-Air Thief catalog have collector demand.
