Description
Nils Frahm shares a new collection of solo piano music, his first album since 2022s three-hour ‘Music For Animals’.Day was recorded in the summer of 2022 in complete solitude and away from his studio at Berlins famed Funkhaus complex. Day may come as a surprise to those who, over the last decade, have watched Frahm shift slowly away from the piano compositions with which he first made his name in favour of a nonetheless still-distinctive approach thats considerably more instrumentally complex and intricately arranged.
In addition, in 2021, having spent the early part of the pandemic arranging his archives, he released the 80 minute, 23-track ‘Old Friends New Friends’, a compilation of previously unreleased piano music intended to enable him to start over with a clean slate. Judging from the extended, ambient nature of ‘Music For Animals’, it proved a successful gambit, but Frahm has never been able to resist returning to his first love, and those who enjoyed earlier acclaimed albums like ‘The Bells’, ‘Felt’ and ‘Screws’ will once again revel inDays familiar, personal style. Characterised by its confidential mood, the new album confirms that, while Frahm is arguably now best known for elaborate, celebratory concerts calling upon an arsenal of pianos, organs, keyboards, synths, even a glass harmonica, hes still a prolific master of affecting simplicity, tenderness and romance. via Label
