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.
