With »News From Planet Zombie«, The Notwist return after years of experimentation and exploration with an album that is both melancholic and positive, featuring a series of exciting, passionate pop songs. It's an album that reflects a chaotic world, but responds to it with warmth and generosity to achieve creative and spiritual consolidation. Recorded in her hometown of Munich, it ties in with the safety of the local to explore the problems of the global: a guiding principle that runs through all eleven songs on the album. It is also the first studio album since »12« from 1995 that the entire band recorded together in the studio in their extended live line-up. A new album by The Notwist is always an exciting undertaking; her musical language is as consistent and resilient as the contexts for her creativity are unpredictable and ever-changing.
