I don’t mean brainy as in the guy with horn rims and a pocket protector, I mean meaningful, thoughtful….authentic. They own their particular sound. With Radiohead as soon as you hear Thom Yorke’s high tenor you know you are on familiar and safe ground. I feel the same when I hear Markus Acher’s vocals. And their musical confidence, the twists and turns that each song’s arrangement takes, reinforces their musical maturity and integrity. Unlike their last album, Neon Golden, The Devil You and Me, takes more risks. On ‘Alphabet’ and ‘Gravity’ the band at times sounds positively post-punk; compressed electronic squalls and perhaps distorted guitars clatter across much heavier beats than they’ve offered in the past. You’ll find hints of Modeselektor and Aphex Twin offered up here but as always, wherever the arrangements take the songs, the vocals remain as airy and melodic as ever even when they are often lyrically morose. The Notwist may have spent six years getting to this but it’s been worth the wait. I’m filing this alongside Cut Copy’s ‘In Ghost Colours’ as my second must have album of 2008.
