The Notwist's Close to the Glass, their eighth album, is a catchy and unpredictable marriage of playing your heart out on an instrument and the magnetic pulse of precise programming. Their sound has transformed hugely over the years, starting with their early, metallic-hardcore sound in 1989, and becoming progressively catchier and incorporating the members' love of folk, classical, rap, rock and electronic music. Now, in 2014, we find the Notwist following up 2007's The Devil, You + Me with their most adventurous record yet.
