13 + God, the band, are six music-fed bodies coming
together for a first crack at making something from
nothing. At the helm of their self-titled debut LP
are two schools of thought: the balloon-and-burst
child psychology of Adam ôdoseoneö Drucker, Jeffery
ôjelö Logan, and Dax Pierson (collectively themselves),
and the pinhole-in-paper astronomy of the Acher
brothers Markus and Micha, and Martin ôConsoleö
Gretschmann (the core of the Notwist). All connections
formal and former cast aside, this half-dozen form a
transcontinental supergroup of very human proportions:
American angst and honest ability, German composition
and countryside chill, and the simple recurring
universal urge to locate oneself within the folds of
time and place.
13 + God, the album, is a group solution to settling
the inner self and its oddly-cut angles, an exercise
in human puzzle-piecing seen through the eyes of
historyÆs hindsight. Adam and Markus trade words that
first evoke the blind earnestness of youth, then
chronicle its gradual leaching out by the loss of
luck and the sink of realizationùall shooting stars,
superman stride, climbing bills and death-by-routine.
In the bittersweet opening song, ôLow Heaven,
ö the two voices echo one another over a fading
clarinet, a slow-skittering beat, and gritty
distorted piano:
ôTheyÆre threatening their lucky stars to
shoot.ö By ôSoft Atlasöùa track that pulses with
punched-out drums only to be leveled by subtle guitar
pluck and vocal harmonyùAdam is questioning whether
or not the earth has fallen completely free of its axis,
left to roll unattended into some dark corner of nothing.
And just before the record ends, on the icy, seven-minute,
cello-driven masterwork ôSuperman on Ice,ö weÆre given
the most poignant image yet: ôThere are footprints
embraced far out on the frozen lake face/Depressed
and kept from quite some cold ago/And they look brave,
dangerous, manmade/The sort of mark one can make on the world.ö
This is a monumental recordùthe next step in the evolution of
something bigger than anything weÆre used to. The Notwist players
bring their ear for gorgeous rock-pop arrangement and taste for
dubby glitch, while themselves grin toothy darkness and breathe
electro-rap experimentalism. Their greatest strength is that in
combining such seemingly disparate sounds, 13 + God create
something truly cohesive, wholly unique, and deeply visceral.
ôGhostworkö sends shivers creeping along shoulder blades even
while tapping into near-danceable groove; ôMen of Stationö bleeds
warmth and love over riding melancholia; ôTin Strongö deconstructs
itself from shadowy hip-hop-fueled dub into a spooky Kid A-worthy
bass/keys/guitar jam. In the still-breathing spirit of artistic
community, Notwist drummer Martin Messerschmid and guitarist Max
Punktezahl each lend their skills to the production, Steffi B÷hm
of Ms. John Soda and Valerie Trebeljahr of Lali Puna sing on
several tracks, and anticonÆs Why? and pedestrian also make cameos
(among others). 13 + God is just what one would expect from two
once-separate entities with such immensely progressive past and
insatiable, competing hunger for collaboration. Which is to say,
if youÆve come to expect the unexpected, then you wonÆt be
surprised.
