...according to our on 10 December 2009.

The Notwist have a new 7" out this week called 'Come In'. It's a very clean sounding piece of catchy pop.... very clinical sounding. There's plenty of weird noises in the background which are smothered in strings and this catchy chorus which has it's hooks in me. I didn't think I was gonna like this and I do! I like the drums (sounds like some sort of machine thing) but the bum, chicka chicka bum beat is doing the biz for me. I don't know how that translates in words but it makes sense in my head. The flipside sees Grizzly Bear being all Pitchforky all over it. It's reasonably interesting but I prefer the A side. Crazy times here....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

OVERVIEW:

The Notwist announce new single ‘Come In’ for release on 7th December, backed by a rare remix outing by Grizzly Bear of ‘Boneless’. This is in conjunction with a very special one off UK date, an Arctic Circle & The Line of Best Fit promoted show with The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra at Union Chapel on 12 December. It should prove to be a unique live collaboration, with the cult Bavarians playing with a full 20-piece orchestra. London is the final destination for this enveloping show that has already been unveiled to a rapturous reception in Hamburg, Amsterdam, Munich and Cologne.

 The Notwist’s inspired and rich back catalogue will be powerfully elaborated upon to form extremely complex and rewarding new arrangements. The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra create music in a galaxy all of their own, taking in such touchstones as Raymond Scott, Sun Ra and specialising in a bizarre avant-interpretation of modern jazz. The band worked with the Andromeda’s for the critically praised album The Devil, You + Me released on City Slang last year. The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra also released their debut album Take Off on The Notwist's respected imprint, Alien Transistor. Over the last two years the Munich based documentary filmmaker Jörg Adolph, filmed the unification of these two ensembles at close quarters. The resultant DVD "Music, No Music" will be available in time for this December date. A YouTube clip from album highlight ‘Gloomy Planets’ can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2qKfzIpoQg
