VERTIGO DAYS (2LP)

Double vinyl LP pressing. On *Vertigo Days*, the first album in six years for The Notwist, one of GermanyAEs most iconic independent groups are alive to the possibilities of the moment. Their music has long been open-minded and exploratory, but from its engrossing structure, through its combination of melancholy pop, clangorous electronics, hypnotic Krautrock and driftwork ballads, to its international musical guests, *Vertigo Days* is both a new step for The Notwist, and a reminder of just how singular theyAEve always been. Most importantly, the core trio of Markus and Micha Acher and Cico Beck are reaching out: as Markus reflects, owe wanted to question the concept of a band by adding other voices and ideas, other languages, and also question or blur the idea of national identity.o'
