Beijing’s NeoNew pairs psych-rock scaffolding with percussion that nods toward ritual rather than groove, letting vocals drift through the murk like someone half-awake during a séance. Three years in the making and it shows—this isn’t fresh-faced psych but something slower to arrive at its destination, suspicious of easy catharsis. The first single stakes territory between spiritual autopsy and psychedelic rock’s familiar haunt, which is fine if you’re prepared to sit very still.

NeoNew’s Self-Titled Album Lead Single
Since their formation in 2023, NeoNew has spent three years crafting their upcoming album, with "Mysterious Path (秘径)" serving as the very first lead single.
"On the unknown journey of the spirit, long after the physical body ceases to exist."
Under the guidance of an enigmatic source of light, a mysterious and unspeakable path gradually unfurls and reveals itself. The dissolution of the flesh is never the end, but rather a journey of memory tracing back to ancient times—a process where consciousness gently returns to the earth.
Fusing elements of psychedelic rock and tribal percussion, the intricate interplay of instrumentation and vocals weaves a hazy, ceremonial, and spiritual space, seeking to glimpse the truth that lies on the other side. There is no need to escape; we are, inherently, one. Only by embracing this uncharted journey with an open heart can we pierce through the dim mists and bathe within the gentle, eternal aura of light.
The full-length album will be officially released on July 29. Stay tuned.
拗拗同名专辑先行曲之一
自2023年成立以来，拗拗花费三年时间打磨新专辑，《Mysterious Path 秘径》为专辑首发单曲。
「关于肉身消亡之后，精神走向未知的道路。」
一条神秘而不可诉说的分叉小径，在未知光源的指引下逐渐变得清晰可见。
肉身消亡并非终点，而是记忆向远古的回溯，是意识重新回归大地的过程。
融合迷幻摇滚、部落打击乐元素，器乐与人声交织，编织出迷离而带有仪式感的灵性空间，试图窥寻彼岸的真理。
不必逃离，我们本为一体。只有坦然面对这趟未知旅途，我们才得以穿透朦胧迷雾，沐于温驯而永恒的光晕中。
全长专辑将于7月29日上线，敬请期待。
