With "News from Planet Zombie", The Notwist return to view after years of exploration and experiment with an album rich in both melancholy and positivity, sketched across a suite of thrilling, fiercely committed pop songs. It"s an album reflecting a chaotic world, but responding with warmth and generosity, to achieve creative and spiritual consolidation. Recorded in their home base of Munich, it reconnects with the security of the local to explore the troubles of the global: a guiding impulse writ large across this album"s eleven songs. It"s also the first studio album since 1995"s "12" that the entire band recorded together in the studio in its expanded live formation. A new album by The Notwist is always a curious endeavour; their musical language is as consistent and resilient as the contexts for creativity are unpredictable and ever shifting. For "News from Planet Zombie", the core trio of Markus and Micha Acher and Cico Beck embraced the plural possibilities of writing together, bringing songs to the collective and then arranging, rehearsing and recording that material live, in the studio. The result is an album that"s energised, fully in "the now", with spectacular moments where you can hear the magic bubbling up in the dynamic between the Achers, Beck, and fellow members Theresa Loibl, Max Punktezahl, Karl Ivar Refseth, and Andi Haberl. "News from Planet Zombie" acknowledges the distress of our current geopolitical impasse, while reminding us there are collective ways forward.

Vinyl-only."Magnificent Fall", The Notwist"s new rarities compilation, compiles some special and wild moments from this unique German indie group"s rich history. They"ve always snuck gorgeous songs and thrilling remixes onto split singles, extended plays, and other formats, across their career, and pieced together here - compiled thoughtfully, with sensitivity to flow and the listening experience - these thirteen selections work as a kind of "shadow narrative" of The Notwist, an alternative index of the possibilities this shape-shifting group uncovered during their time together. They"ve been smart to let go of chronology when sequencing "Magnificent Fall", so the songs here move across phases and stages of The Notwist"s career, helmed by brothers Markus and Micha Acher. This approach makes plenty of sense, as this music compiled here abstracts from two impulses - to push forward and not repeat what has come before, while building from the group"s very specific musical language. Just one example: the loveliness of the instrumental "Avalanche", from 2020"s "Ship", follows elegantly from the happy-sad glitch-pop of "Blank Air", from a 2010 split with former member Martin Gretschmann"s project Console. Different phases, different memberships, shared concerns. The Notwist have always been interested in and open to community, and one of the many ways they reach out to others is through the remix. There are three here, sent back to The Notwist from different corners of the world, both aesthetically and geographically: Grizzly Bear take on "Boneless", Ada tackles "Run Run Run", and Odd Nosdam submerges "Sleep" in noise and clatter. Another connection, of course: Odd Nosdam is part of The Notwist"s extended family, through Markus and Micha Acher"s 13 & God project with fellow Anticon artists Themselves and Subtle. So, the music on Magnificent Fall traverses varying terrain - abstract hip-hop, chamber pop, sweet and simple folk song, indietronica, free-floating improvisation. There are several unreleased songs, as well, drawn from across the group"s history. Core to it all, though, the thing that makes The Notwist so singular, is the thumbprint of the Acher brothers, their gently poetic way of moving through the world and welcoming other musicians and artists into the fold, expressively and with generosity. Historically aware without being nostalgic, "Magnificent Fall" is the perfect way to introduce The Notwist"s reissue programme with Morr Music, too, including a box set, and the group"s eight albums, documenting their three-and-a-half decades of music and community-making. Looking back to move forward? It"s a very good idea.
