    NEHANN has started to take its own steps in the new scene that is secretly spreading in the underground of Tokyo, which is submerged in the Corona disaster.After releasing a series of 7" singles in February and April, their first album "New Metropolis" is finally here.
    Their style is a hybrid of 80's and 90's UK indie and US alternative with a modern sensibility and a deep, dark gothic sound that gives them a unique presence.In addition to the 7" Star and Nylon released on our KiliKiliVilla label, the album also features re-recorded versions of previously released songs such as TEC and Ending Song, both singles on the BLACK HOLE label, and the self-released Under the Sun, Labyrinth and HAZARD. The beauty of the newly recorded version of the timeless classic Ending Song will captivate all music fans.
    This is an album of 10 songs that expresses the feelings of teenagers and twenties somethings living in a world where the new corona infection has created a real dystopia in Tokyo, a world where the individual has become fragmented.

1.
Nylon 03:26
Nylon It resembles a precision machine Assembled with million of sheen gears and screws From its appearance we never know What makes it move is no other than blood Sometimes everything can change with a micro matter Vulnerability raised us from the water *Superimpose the hologram of a new metropolis Over the town collapsed on the ground Someday you will stand in there Underneath a lily, there lies a dead body Nothing lasts forever Be aware, wherever you are There is no turning back but don’t be afraid We are the ones who make a revolution
2.
Hollowed hearts Dead flowers Floating on the rotten water All the people left the town 27 days ago Dead flowers Floating on the rotten water Everybody has gone from here Except you and me We were mixing up our every single property And drawing into the boiling ocean of the blood I left a petal of my bloomed soul Inside the room where we found our hollowed hearts Your eyes Remind me of a plastic toy I once swallowed I remember it was a terrible mistake In an hour I am gonna leave this place like the others Cause I am bored of Waiting for something new
3.
Concealment 02:04
Concealment Sky has fallen down You may not detect We don’t yet see things Which are not on the surface All the time They make lies But the time will soon Reveal the truth Completely fucked up Seems like there is no hope I don’t wanna lose you So I just need to find a way We don’t have time to pray We cannot admit our defeat
4.
Under the Sun You inflate a fantasy And believe that you will find gold but You don’t know how they shine under the sun x2 Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun In your reality Everything you’ve got is somehow little bit dull Even though you see them under the sun x2 Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun Under the sun
5.
Labyrinth 03:51
Labyrinth Spoken secrets die And bring curse from the sky Scared of every eye Hating every word Illusion in the mind Evolving fast and wide To escape from reality And to get lost in paradise Distorted your desire Tied with the iron wire But it’s reaching to the melting point And it will soon gosh out *Everything turned upside down  Where did I come from  Labyrinth I am running in  Dreaming of exit does not exist Gray blocks standing in line No change in your sight Eat grape in the stench Slumber in the sound
6.
TEC 03:33
7.
Curse 03:25
Curse Euphoria Steaming silver Turned into an icicle And dropped on me As long as we desire A wheel of suffering Spins around Over and over Forever and ever Only in the silent And empty space We may be Embraced by a lasting peace As long as we desire A wheel of suffering spins around Over and over Forever and ever It wouldn’t kindly Offer us the entertainment Until we stop To wish for it As long as we desire A wheel of suffering spins around Over and over Forever and ever
8.
HAZARD 03:23
HAZARD You are sold in a gloomy carnival You cannot move but you can only smell the iron You had no choice but to go there Your soul is resisting and tearing your flesh *Don’t go there Don’t go there We just threw away 800,000 bodies You don’t know yet You might be the one of them You are not aware what is happening now Open your eyes, you can still stop your feet
9.
Ending Song 03:33
Ending song Ending song And melted ice in the paper cup Walked back home Imagine a clock running backwards Look up the sky Turning red Still I can’t find peace We are afraid And we need to fight It’s a long way Such a long way From here to there Here to there It takes a long time Takes a long time To learn how to bear How to bear
10.
Star 04:09
Star One black speeding car In the midnight town Chased by the revolving lights Distance from the place Marked on the map Is getting closer and closer We believe that we need to Determine the reason For everything we do But I am just guided by An invisible nameless ghost So i don’t know why I am doing this This void con’t disappear Because it will never be filled Alone in a quiet street I just look to the stars They are shining so far away In front of the door Sound of desire Tranquilizes my heartbeats Make up your mind Time is running fast Everything will change its shape
