Neon Golden

The Notwist

A landmark of indietronica where fragile folk melodies are meticulously deconstructed by glitchy IDM textures. Warm, rainy, and profoundly human.

January 14, 2002 · City Slang

A high-tech loneliness wrapped in a very old, very warm wool blanket.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the banjo on 'One With the Freaks' is swallowed by a digital stutter before the bass kicks in.
The heartbreakingly simple piano line that anchors the glitchy breakdown of 'Consequence'.
The transition in 'Pilot' where the acoustic strumming is perfectly mirrored by a sharp, rhythmic electronic pulse.
