    The Devil, You + Me is the sixth studio album by German indie rock band The Notwist. It was released in May 2008. The first single was Where in This World, for which a promo video was released to the media. The Notwist make music that's at once impossibly personal and hugely inviting. This release is their most important and moving to date, in the band's nearly 20 year career. Markus Acher's singular voice surrounds you with all the comfort of familiarity, the euphoria of re-acquaintance. It takes a while before the words and the scale of the musical language sink in. The deluxe limited edition is a hard-bound book with full color 24-page insert. Read more on Last.fm.

    Vertigo Days is the ninth studio album by German electronic band The Notwist. It was released on 29 January 2021 by Morr Music. On 31 July 2020, the Notwist's released the first single "Ship". The single features Japanese musician Saya Uenon of Tenniscoats. The second single "Oh Sweet Fire" was released on 9 October 2020. Jazz musician Ben LaMar Gay features on the single. Vertigo Days was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 75 based on 10 reviews. AnyDecentMusic? gave the release a 7.1 out of 10 based on 9 reviews. Writing for AllMusic, Heather Phares said: "Vertigo Days' ranginess suits the Notwist; after all, they've always resisted easy categorization, and they've rarely sounded as loose and spontaneous as they do here. The album's scope is so big that its smaller moments could get lost in the shuffle, but its details are just as memorable as its broad strokes." Tim Sentz of Beats Per Minute wrote: "While Vertigo Days boasts a heap of guest musicians, none ever outshine The Notwist, something that can often happen on guest-heavy albums. Instead, this cast of characters from around the world does wonders for their sound and makes for an intriguing and rewarding listen every time." At Exclaim!, Eric Hill gave the release a 7-out-of=10, while noting "Vertigo Days has a familiar but notably updated and refined palette of sounds. Micha charts a course in sound that touches on everything from light chamber baroque to hints of Tropicália in fresh new combinations. Markus, as always, finds the pockets to insert gentle, hook-laden guitar melodies and fragile-voiced lyrics. The ambitions, expansions, and collaborations on Vertigo Days mostly pay off, sacrificing a little thematic cohesion for the reward of greater variety in sound." PopMatters said: "The 14 tracks on Vertigo Days function as nuggets of noise. There are rhythms and drops, meaningful pauses and blather, atmospherics that drift into nothingness, and abrasive sonics. Listening can be a trip maybe one doesn't want to take except as an escape from reality." In a review for Under the Radar, the album was described: "While past releases included more concrete pop melodies, the songs here are decidedly more abstract and moodier, with woozy orchestrations that reach back in time to remind us of the jazz-rock explorations of Soft Machine and Krautrock pioneers Can. Most tracks feel more like conceptual musical ideas rather than fully formed songs with clever arrangements, peculiar horns, and a rhythmic interplay of motley instrumentation." Read more on Last.fm.
