Editor's note

Noir's secret game of Japanese and Korean noir

A Korean artist whose songs drift between languages and moods, from gangsta swagger to lullaby whispers.

For the full effect, listen to 'Secret Game' back-to-back with 'Gensou Rakuen'. That's where their range lives.

Noir's catalog moves between Korean and Japanese versions of the same songs, like 'Canta Per Me' appearing in both languages. The track 'Gangsta' sits alongside gentle pieces like 'Lullaby (Em Japonês)', creating a tension between hard and soft that defines their sound. It's a small but distinct body of work that doesn't settle in one place.

With 24 songs documented, Noir's output suggests a focus on bilingual expression, particularly between Korean and Japanese. The presence of alternate language versions like 'Canta Per Me (Em Japonês)' alongside the original points to an artist working across cultural lines from the start.

Archive material and source history

Noir was a band that formed in London during the mid-1980s, founded by Kieran Pepper on vocals and guitar and Andy Wright on bass. Pepper had previously been part of The Only Ones. Their debut album 'Around' came out in 1986, followed by 'The Second Empire' in 1991. They went on hiatus in the early 1990s.

Their songs include 'Canta Per Me' and 'Gensou Rakuen'. The existing history mentions that Pepper's lyrics were sometimes darkly humorous and that Wright had personal struggles, but the band's output was limited to those two albums.
