Close to the Glass

The Notwist

A collision of fragile indie-pop melodies and jagged, crystalline electronics. It sounds like a warm heart beating inside a cold, digital machine.

A sophisticated blend of digital coldness and human vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's transition from a frantic, clicking beat into a wide-open melodic vista.
The motorik, driving propulsion of 'Kong' that feels like a classic indie anthem filtered through a circuit board.
The nearly nine-minute sprawl of 'Lineri' where the band dissolves into pure, hypnotic electronic texture.
