Listen to the Notwist’s “Run Run Run” (Ada Remix)
From the band’s forthcoming Record Store Day 12”
 
Updated 2014 North American Tour Dates
 
On Record Store Day, Saturday, April 19th, Sub Pop will release The Notwist’s “Run Run Run” 12” Single. You can now listen to a remix of the title track by German techno producer Ada. Clash Magazine says of the track, “'Run Run Run' itself was designed as a deconstructed blues track, with each band taking it in turn to re-work one another's performance. A deeply conceptual piece, Ada turns 'Run Run Run' into something rather more linear, albeit with a loose-limbed jazz sensibility (see premiere April 11th).”
 
The“Run Run Run” Record Store Day single includes three unreleased tracks: one new song, and two exclusive remixes of “Run Run Run.” Both sides of the record feature a special double groove, with each parallel groove containing a different song. Limited to 1,900 copies worldwide.
 
“Run Run Run” can also be found on The Notwist’s recently released album, Close to the Glass, which is available now in North America on CD / LP / DL via Sub Pop.
 
The Notwist’s previously announced 2014 North America tour has been extended through July 4th weekend. The tour begins June 9th in New York, NY at Webster Hall and ends on July 5th in Seattle, WA at Neumos. Please find a complete list of tour dates below.

What People Are Saying About The Notwist:
“If the new Close to the Glass is any indication, The Notwist sounds fully refreshed: From its corker of a single ("Kong") on, the album showcases a light touch in a frequently collage-based sound that brims over with buzzing, springy, playful urgency. Throughout Close to the Glass, The Notwist lets many sides of its sound peek out, as straightforward pop-rock melts together with the pulse of Krautrock until they become indistinguishable. But, like its most recent predecessors, the album never feels chilly, even when the band wanders through a nine-minute instrumental ("Lineri") late in the proceedings. Even then, no matter how many machines manipulate The Notwist's sound, they never drown out the human heartbeats at its center.” [First Listen] - NPR Music
 
Close to the Glass is a record bookended with perfectly executed experiments, so gentle on the ears. Beautiful and perfect, they make the whole record seem round, and right.”  [8.5/10] -  The Line Of Best Fit
 
“Judging by "Close to the Glass,"…they have toughened up their sound considerably since 2008's The Devil, You + Me, diving into the rubbery abstraction that's afforded by modular synthesis and adopting the percussive, post-rave sensibilities of Mouse on Mars and Simian Mobile Disco.” [50 Albums You Gotta Hear in 2014] - SPIN
 
“It's sensitively poised and technically perfect.” [8/10] - Uncut
 
“Here, they've abandoned any evidence of their glitchy history, mostly eschewing electronics in favour of warm, organic instrumentation like acoustic guitars and real-life drums. With a gentle melody and frontman Markus Acher's inimitable vocals, however, it's still the Notwist we know and love.” [Kong”] - Exclaim
 
“Their eighth LP brilliantly snaps together everything.”[8/10] - Q Magazine
 
“Every element of Close to the Glass feels like it has been minutely polished; like the workings of a miniature pocket watch, it all feels succinct, gleaming and fresh.” [8/10] - The 405
 
“A very pretty, very hooky piece of Krautrock tunecraft, shot through with a deep sense of longing.” [“Kong”]  - Stereogum
 
Close To The Glass is a forum in which ramshackle indie-pop, acoustic balladry, and expansive electronic sonic explorations happily coexists, and it's all the better for it.” - Under The Radar
 
“Propulsive, driving...a surprisingly sparkling uptempo cut” [“Kong”] - Pitchfork
 
“Marked with fuzzy synths, a driving bassline, and abounding vocal hooks, “Kong” even has a trippy outro, adding an extra layer of interesting.” [“Kong”] - Consequence of Sound
 
“An excellent piece of krauty, rhythmic guitar pop in which melancholy lyrics about unceasing rain get juxtaposed with bubbly instrumentals. Our favorite moment, though, would have to be when the whole thing devolves into a film-noir groove and the strings and acoustic riffs kick in.”  [“Kong”] - Pretty Much Amazing
