It’s really great to hear new work from the German experimental indie rock band The Notwist. From their new album Vertigo Days out early 2021, “Where You Find Me” is a brilliant return to form for Markus Archer + company. It’s a deeply rhythmic, distinctly melancholic and happily skewed. Vertigo Days will feature international musical …
Combining heavily granulated piano work, stirring strings and distant percussive elements, Tom Ashbrook’s work on “Seance” is a heavily refined and deeply emotional work that coaxes the ghosts out of our most natural and unnatural disasters.
