Newspeak on Their Self-Titled New Album and Unique Position in the Japanese Music Scene: Interview


Newspeak, a three-piece band made up of vocalist Rei, drummer Steven, and bassist Yohey, have released their third full album, Newspeak.

It’s like they have the power to just blow away any uncertainty or worry.I think that you can especially feel that strength in what is, effectively, the album’s first song, “White Lies.” Rei: That’s why the album starts with the question “What would you do if you weren’t afraid at all?” That concept is at the root of everything I do, and I feel like I’ve finally been able to express it really well. The last song on the album, “Nokoribi,” closes with the line, “A wingless believer on the night before the revolution.”It feels like here you’re singing about Newspeak itself.
