The Notwist - Close To The Glass

The Notwist release their new album Close To The Glass in February, their first album since 2008's The Devil You + Me.

These guys have released a couple of true classics in my opinion, with Shrink and especially Neon Golden being great records. They have a great combination of glitchy beats and more traditional indie rock stylings. Think The Postal Service, but I prefer The Notwist.

If you are familiar with Console (check out Rocket in Pocket for another fantastic album!) you probably have a reasonable idea what to expect as well because Martin Gretschmann is responsible for the electronics in both bands.

The first track from the new album is up on their site: http://notwist.com/

It's a great record, leaving any obvious Amnesiac-era Radiohead comparisons aside, it sounds like a glitchier and darker "Neon Golden". Definitely less poppy yet many tracks got the "hooks" to guarantee you'll come back for more listens.

cool I'll have to check this out. absolutely love that devil album.

This is really cool. They are on the right track with their last releases

yea, def digging this track for sure
