The Notwist: X-Ray
Since Markus Acher’s band The Notwist performed at Week-End Fest back in 2015 we have remained in close contact, sharing the music we love and organising shows together with artists we admire. His dedication and love of music is what our Mixtape series is all about, so we asked Acher to pick a selection of his favourite artists at present. The result is an hour-long, 19-song mixtape. Step into the world of Japanese pop music!

The Notwist - Pick Up the Phone (from Neon Golden) Hitting up some early aughts bands I love today. I was especially enamored with The Notwist’s Neon Golden in 2002. Such a great album! “Pilot” and “One With the Freaks” also great tracks. I remember listening to it over and over that year (and one of the Acher brother’s other band Lali Puna). German indie rock at its finest. They’re still touring and releasing work (last album was 2016). Need to catch up with them.

Scary World Theory / Lali Puna (Morr Music, 2001)
Ce deuxième album de Lali Puna provoque les mêmes effets que les dernières productions de The Notwist (dont le chanteur est ici à la basse). Un subtil travail sur des sons et des rythmiques électroniques sert de carcan à de superbes chansons pops.
Tout est ici minutieusement mis en place, la recherche électronique n'étouffant jamais la sensibilité de la chanteuse Valérie Trebeljarn, les nappes de claviers, ou la basse très New Order de Markus Acher. Certains titres comme "Nin-Com-Pop" ou "Scary World Theory" sont réellement bouleversants, d'autres comme "Contratempo" ou l'instrumental "50 Faces Of" sont carrément entrainants, tout en gardant un côté sombre. Lali puna apparait ici comme un groupe à la fois pop, mélancolique et moderne.
MARKUS ACHER (NOTWIST) REDONNE UN COUP DE PÉDALE À RAYON
Dans la foulée d’un album live sorti par Notwist, Markus Acher – chanteur et guitariste du groupe – revient faire parler de lui avec Rayon, side project avec lequel il a déjà signé un premier album l’an passé chez Alien Transistor. C’est cette fois chez Morr Music que sort ‘A Beat of Silence’, une enfilade de neuf pistes instrumentales, majoritairement électroniques et mélancoliques, que vous pourrez écouter en intégralité dès le 11 novembre.
