KLEPTO is a Japanese indie rock duo formed in Tokyo, consisting of members known as SJM (vocals, guitar) and BNKN (bass, drums). They have a respect for “garage rock revival” and pay an ode handsomely on their single “The Newest.”
The track reaches supreme indie rock vibes with some riveting fresh guitar work that feels like it’s straight from mid 2000s rockers like The Strokes, just with a California summer spirit running through it. The track feels familiar in the best way, not pulling any new tricks, but just delivery a rock song that scratches that itch you didn’t know you had been waiting for.
Enjoy a stream of “The Newest” below, along with a quote from the duo about the track.
It has the feeling of new encounter and farewell.
