Another Tune from the Notwist

Having been away from the craft for a few years, the Notwist‘s return has been pretty triumphant, with sites such as ours praising their new work, but on the new single, there’s this timeless charm that reminds us all of the talent in the outfit. It’s a really light number, bounding carefully atop a steadied strum of acoustics; they add little layers, inch by inch, as if each corner of the song was examined to discover what was needed. At times, there’s a crash of cymbals or a wash of synths or a female backing vocal or some horns, all of it illustrating the beauty of perfect pop texturizing. News from Planet Zombie will be out on March 13th.

The Notwist Announce News from Planet Zombie

Was behind the paywall when news broke that the Notwist were returning with a brand new album, and upon the first listen, it does feel a bit like they’ve returned to some of their earlier fascinations. Our first hint has the group opening with a thunderous rhythm, as bit of synthetic structures seems to build behind that bounding noise. Moving the track forward, the vocals embrace a little solemnity from within, carefully sitting in the middle of a mix; ends of verses seem to be emphasized by a shattering of crashing drums/cymbals, ensuring the group are still working on their experimental approach to songwriting (though rumor has it this was recorded live in studio with all members present!). News from Planet Zombie arrives on March 13th.
