It's hard to categorize The Notwist's music. For more than twenty years, this shape-shifting German band has moved from Alt-Rock to Indietronica to what today would best be described as Post Rock. Much like bands such as Talk Talk or Radiohead, The Notwist's evolution has been remarkable.
Vertigo Days, the band's latest album, has them moving forward once again. Much like with 2002's Neon Golden, the band is playing with ever changing sounds, rhythms, and instrumentation, creating musical collages and sonic landscapes that are ever shifting and changing. While always experimental, the band's music is here to intrigue and charm and not so much to challenge. It's a remarkable balance act and I found myself coming back to this album many times to experience this unique musical space. Vertigo Days is a noteworthy album that will leave a lasting impression long after listening to it.
