The Notwist are a German band from Weilheim who evolved from late-'80s/early-'90s metal beginnings to a refined blend of electronics, indie and experimental songwriting. Core collaborators mentioned in reviews include Markus Acher, Micha/Michael Acher and Martin Gretschmann; drummers referenced include Martin Messerschmid and Andi Haberl.

Formed in Weilheim, Germany in the late 1980s; notable stylistic shift from guitar-driven rock/metal toward electronic and indie-electronica. Neon Golden (2002) is widely cited in reviews as a major, acclaimed album.

DeBaser reviews emphasise The Notwist's shift from late-'80s metal to a refined blend of electronics and indie songwriting. Neon Golden (2002) is repeatedly hailed as a high point. Shrink and later works such as The Devil, You + Me and Close To The Glass receive praise for detail and mood.

For:Listeners of indie-electronica, fans of melancholic, detail-rich songwriting and experimental pop.

 For those who make music, and even for those who more modestly write about it, this is no small thing.
