Feb 24, 2014The Notwist is an apt example of a band that is making good music for no other reason than because making music is what they love to do, which Close To The Glass demonstrates in spades.
-
Feb 25, 2014Eight albums into its career (nine, if you count Sturm, a 2009 film score), the band has lost none of its ability to aim boldly for the gut.
-
Feb 27, 2014The home stretch of the album is where the band really opens up, unleashing haunting melodies and intricate movements that create a soundtrack for a virtual fever dream.
-
Feb 20, 2014Close to the Glass isn't quite the luxurious auditory and emotional jacuzzi the Notwist's albums have been in the past. It's more a wading pool made of obligation and diffidence.
-
Feb 24, 2014Clatter arises from songs and songs from clatter, and it's maddening how so many of them seem to randomly end before committing to actual endings.
-
Feb 21, 2014Close To The Glass is a forum in which ramshackle indie-pop, acoustic balladry, and expansive electronic sonic explorations happily coexists, and it's all the better for it. [Feb/Mar 2014, p.74]
-
Feb 19, 2014Unlike the best of the Notwist’s output, Close to the Glass isn’t emotionally nourishing, primarily because there’s no real sense that anything is at stake.
