The Notwist

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Formed near Munich as a post-hardcore band, the Notwist gradually began to embrace a fusion of classic '80s indie pop songwriting and scruffy electronic backings indebted to Oval and Autechre. The quartet is comprised of brothers Markus and Micha Acher (on vocals/guitar and bass, respectively) plus programmer/keyboard player Martin Gretschmann and drummer Martin Messerschmid. Their self-titled 1989 debut and 1992's Nook were rough-and-tumble punk LPs. Third album 12 marked the group's first flirtation with electronics, though the chord structures and vo...[more]

 

 

REISSUE ON DOMINO. INCLUDES THREE EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRACKS. Neon Golden is the Notwist's sixth full-length album and light years ahead of their post-punk, self-titled debut from 1990. Fifteen months in the making, Neon Golden is a prime example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. A myriad of offsetting influences and styles that, on paper, shouldn't add up to the masterpiece that it is, Neon Golden seamlessly blends Markus Acher's subtle guitar and plaintive, detached vo   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The Notwist make music that's at once impossibly personal and hugely inviting. This release is their most important and moving to date, in the band's nearly 20 year career. Markus Acher's singular voice surrounds you with all the comfort of familiarity, the euphoria of re-acquaintance. It takes a while before the words and the scale of the musical language sink in.

2003 was a very good year for the Notwist. After 12 years and five albums of being virtually ignored in America, "Neon Golden" was released to great acclaim and a sold-out tour. "Different Cars and Trains" is a collection of remixes by such folks as Console (aka Martin Gretschmann -- who is also a member of the band), Four Tet, and Manitoba (their first and only joint remix) and Loopspool.
