After two years of recording (and a six-year gap), The Notwist has finally finished the follow-up to 2002’s masterpiece, Neon Golden. It is entitled The Devil, You + Me, and it is scheduled for a US release in June when a tour will also commence or as the band says, “we swap our spacship [sic] for a tourbus.” Pitchfork has a stream of the first track off the new album here.
