The Notwist - Neon Golden Deluxe (Deluxe Version) (2024)

Tipped for major things this album from the Acher brothers (Micha and Markus) with the two Martin's, Messerschmid and Gretschmann aka Console delivers in every way. Expected when you consider the talent involved, members freelance across groups of the stature of Lali Puna and The Tied and Tickled Trio. The group keep the dynamics of their earlier albums but tone down the guitars to fuse the overall sound with electronics, strings, deep jazz horns, country/blue's licks and the lovely aching vocals of Micha. As important a development in the progression of pop/alt rock as Kid A and equally mind blowing. Wonderful.
