The Notwist “Gravity” From “The Devil, You + Me” (2008)
The Notwist (pronounced /ˈnoʊˌtwɪst/) are a German indie rock band. Formed in 1989, the band moved through several musical incarnations despite maintaining a relatively stable lineup. While their early records moved through heavy metal into dark indie rock, their recent efforts for which they’ve received the most attention have been very strongly influenced by the electronica scene, along with the other groups on the record label Morr Music.
History The two Achers and Messerschmid formed the group in 1989 in Weilheim, near Munich. In 1990 they recorded their self-titled debut, a grunge-metal oriented LP. 1992 saw the release of Nook, which has an indie rock sound, while their 1995 album 12 contains their first flirtation with electronics. Martin Gretschmann joined the group in 1997. Shrink, released in 1998, is a jazz-electro-rock album. The album Neon Golden (released in 2002) put them on the map for American listeners, with its heartfelt sentiment and catchy tunes.
The group has been remixed by Four Tet, Caribou, Console, Loopspool, and others. Singer Markus Acher collaborated with anticon. rapper/producer Alias on the song “Unseen Sights,” an effort that shows a surprising musical breadth for both artists.
The Notwist recently formed a group with Themselves named 13 & God, whose eponymous debut was released in 2005. Markus Acher, in addition to his work with The Notwist and 13 & God, also works with the band Lali Puna, while Mecki Messerschmidt now also plays drums for the recently reformed Schweisser. Michael Acher composes and programs for Ms. John Soda.
The new album is entitled The Devil, You + Me and was released in Europe in May, 2008. On June 17, 2008 the album was released in North America on Domino Records. A free mp3 is up for download on the City Slang website and at the album’s official site. They will be performing the new album on their UK tour starting in Bristol on 17th November 2008 finishing at ULU, London on 21st Nov. (Wikipedia)
I hear it’s colder where we live now The same world but better somewhere else I see the planets spinning faster Or is my body too slow I don’t know, I don’t know Don’t wanna be somewhere else
The months come and go so quickly, and with that comes the reminder from Photojojo’s Time Capsule of memories from the past. Oddly enough, this photo was (and is) called “Memories”. A nice revisit for me…thank you, time capsule :)
