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.

Gregory Flatt A lot of releases claim a 90s alternative influence, but this is the first I’ve heard in a while that makes me hear and (more importantly) feel it. Channels sorrow, grief, and anger into something heartbreaking, sweet, true, and ultimately beautiful. Favorite track: Star String Radio.
