David Chandek-Stark A record I didn't know I needed. Brilliant! Favorite track: Somebody Prayed For Me.

The Tonearm "I think being limited is good for creativity, as it focuses on the idea rather than the technique. The songs are the most important things, and not the technique. I think sometimes you hear that people lose themselves in the technique, and then in the end, there's no core or nothing, no real ideas."

jewins There's something quietly radical about a band returning, after years of restless experimentation, with an album that simply sounds like themselves. If Vertigo Days felt like a record made in isolation, News from Planet Zombie feels like one made in community. That distinction matters, and it shows.

semakeepsgoing I dont remember last time I've listened for a whole album start to finish, and repeat, in years...this album naturally hooked me since the first seconds, and once finished I wanted more...something musically different that made me stop and refrain from nowadays crazy and overspeeding existences...Love the production that hits my taste for sound, lyrics touch deeply...if I have to go for a preferred track I would say Red Sun, however for me the whole album is a single and slowly enjoyable act Favorite track: Red Sun.

B.R all I know from the Notwist is condensed in this track Favorite track: X-Ray.

Fawne Hi Fred!

I just told my partner we need to ‘Kath and Dave’ our next outing. So now we’re deep in a worm composting certification course, trying to ethically source beeswax for our own line of artisanal bike tires, and haven’t slept in 36 hours. Thank you for showing us the way. We’re not tired, we are alive! All thanks to your inspiring new sound effects album.

Also, as a former flight attendant, please know that we would LOVE for you to police attentiveness and seatbelt security. 🩷 Favorite track: Band Sound Check Sound Guy and Band Agreeing for Too Long.
