Notwist: News From Planet Zombie

With 'News From Planet Zombie', The Notwist return after years of experimentation and exploration with an album that is both melancholic and positive, characterized by a series of exciting, passionate pop songs. It's an album that reflects a chaotic world, but responds to it with warmth and generosity to achieve creative and spiritual consolidation. Recorded in their hometown of Munich, it draws on the security of the local to explore the problems of the global: a theme that runs through all eleven songs on the album. It is also the first studio album since "12" from 1995 that the entire band has recorded together in the studio with their extended live line-up. A new album from The Notwist is always an exciting endeavor; their musical language is as consistent and resilient as the contexts for their creativity are unpredictable and ever-changing.
