About The Notwist
The Notwist started out in Weilheim, near Munich, around brothers Markus and Micha Acher, and their earliest records were loud, guitar-heavy hardcore and metal. Over the 1990s they drifted toward something quieter, folding in electronics, clicks and glitches, with Markus Acher's soft, unshowy voice in front.
Neon Golden, released in 2002, made the change complete and became their best-known record, with songs such as 'Pilot' and 'Consequence' pairing plain, sad melodies with programmed textures and banjo. Members have run a cluster of related projects out of the same Bavarian scene, including Lali Puna and Console, and live shows tend to stretch the songs into longer, more percussive versions.
