notwist..?

has anyone heard of them?

i've been listening to their song "consequence" over and over again...

they are sex, i tell you.

that is all.

YES. I ♥ The Notwist. Get yr hands on their new disc Neon Golden.

my roommates like 'em. my knowledge of german music begins and ends with kraftwerk.

Pilot is easily their best song.

they're not bad. was really excited to see them when they toured here last year but it was kind of a disappointing set.

GOOD

excellent!
If u like them, listen to Tarwater
specially, the album called something like Animals..

my favorite song is "one step inside doesn't mean you'll understand".. neon golden is a great album!

AWWWW YYYEEEEAAAAHHH! Love these guys! Neon Golden has been a staple in my rotation for over a year now... can anyone reccommend any of their older stuff? Supposedly it's REALLY different from what they're doing now.

pick up the phone

I can't speak to what they're doing now, b/c I don't have Neon Golden yet. I do like Shrink quite a bit. It's an interesting blend of analog electronics and conventional instrumentation. Indie in flavor, without being whiny and annoying.

mf

when i first heard 'em i was getting drunk with my ex and she was talking about her friend who ended up in a wheelchair and then that song on neon golden came on that goes, "leave me paralyzed"

Shrink is good, but gets a little too jazzbo steelydan at the end. Neon Golden is butter, though. And if you're vegan, then Neon Golden is tofuti cutie good...or, SoyDelicious! I haven't heard the bonus American release tracks though...?

you're the pincard.

Indeed.. a fine track from Shrink I'm told. Huzzah! Forty pounds to the king!

I love them. I discovered them when they played an acoustic set at a store in town. It was amazing.
Their best song is obviously Pick Up the Phone. Unless it's Pilot.

pet, you are fucking rad!

The Notwist is awesome. I like their older jams like Nothing Like You and Nook the best.

Also, they have a pretty snappy website. http://www.notwist.com


::edited to say - If you like The Notwist, you would probably also dig Minus the Bear::

yeah, there "old old" stuff was totally different. I haven't heard any myself but apparently it was straight up hardcore-esque stuff. They have a new EP out now, there are no lyrics but it is still a winner. But without Markus's voice you are still left wanting a little more.

The Notwist are touring!!!
(well, all I really know is that they'll be in Seattle Feb. 12th @ Chop Suey, and Vancouver Feb 13th @ Richards on Richards!!!)
Keep your ear to the ground & post more dates if you find them!
