El sello Absolut Ambient -auténtico oasis en el panorama de la música avant española, comandado por los hermanos Sotomayor- presenta ahora una nueva aventura sonora protagonizada por el inédito dúo formado por la cantante y compositora barcelonesa -pero madrileña de adopción- Rebecca Newey y el propio Nacho Sotomayor. Bajo el sugerente nombre de Newey -que también da titulo al disco- encontramos un espacio ensoñador, pleno y atemporal, en el que el trip-ambient y el lounge-pop deambula entre referencias que van desde Thievery Corporation y William Orbit; hasta Sheevari o 4 Hero; pasando por el siempre fascinante sonido bristol y, por supuesto, el broken beat. Cuentan que un buen día, una elegante singer desembarcó en el islote ibicenco de "Es Vedrá" -morada virtual secreta de Sotomayor- sin más equipaje que una voz aterciopelada, que huele a humo berlinés y sabe a dulce peligro.

Il 14 novembre 1997, nei dintorni di Victoria, in Canada, la quattordicenne Reena Virk scompare. Passeranno otto giorni prima che il suo corpo venga ritrovato senza vita sotto un ponte: la sua morte sconvolge la comunità e l’intera nazione, perché Reena e` stata uccisa da un gruppo di suoi coetanei, alcuni dei quali neanche la conoscevano. Rebecca Godfrey, all’epoca scrittrice e artista ventinovenne, si appassiona al caso e indaga sulle circostanze e sui responsabili dell’orribile delitto: ragazzi e ragazze colpevoli di aver massacrato Reena quasi per gioco, con spietata incoscienza; giovani come tanti altri, travolti da un disagio esistenziale che si propaga prima di esplodere in un gesto di efferata violenza. In questo resoconto vivido e avvincente, arricchito da una nota dell’autrice e da una postfazione di Mary Gaitskill, Rebecca Godfrey ricostruisce la verità attraverso le testimonianze dirette dei protagonisti..
