The Notwist return with “How the Story Ends,” a vibrant, percussive reimagining of the Lovers’ folk original. Taken from their upcoming album, News from Planet Zombie, the track balances the tension of our modern era with a warm, collaborative spirit. By blending indie-pop energy with thoughtful guest arrangements, the band transforms a simple cover into a profound meditation on time and resilience.

Elijah Minnelli’s unique blend of folk and dub gets a vibrant makeover in The Alien Dub Orchestra: Plays the Breadminster Songbook. This album sees his cumbia-infused dub reggae reborn through a full band, with instruments like sousaphone and accordion. Born from a collaboration with The Notwist, it’s a joyful exploration of Minnelli’s songwriting, culminating in chaotic, one-take dub versions that push the boundaries of sound.

Unfolding at its own pace, Spirit Fest finds the mystical core of their music on Bear in Town. Not a moment is truly rushed, unfolding precisely, forging musical connections that touch the soul of what makes us human.
