After nearly five years of silence, everyone's favorite German-bred electro-acoustic outfit makes its way back to America. On this year's The Devil, You + Me, the Notwist spit-shine the gleaming surface they introduced on new-millennium classic Neon Golden, returning to a world of fragile vocals and shimmering electronic static. Like a more experimentally inclined Postal Service or a vamped-up Death Cab for Cutie, they're at once emotional and distanced, attacking the inner life through cool reminiscence where others would wallow in nostalgia. The band's songs are effortlessly insightful, courting innovation without losing focus on the words.
