- The LP, out today, was recorded in 2009 and kept secret until now.
Nils Frahm has a new album, Graz, out today via Erased Tapes.
The nine-track album arrives on Piano Day, the annual celebration Frahm cofounded in 2015. It was recorded at the University Of Music And Performing Arts in Graz, Austria, in 2009. Most of the grand piano pieces on Graz have never been released before, though a version of "Hammers" was included on Frahm's 2013 album, Spaces.
"I remember how I had to squeeze the music out of the grand piano in the Graz sessions," says Frahm, "and while I enjoy listening to it now, I kept these recordings secret for a good while—they sound like a much younger version of myself to me, and a lot of the musical expressions from that time would be impossible for me to replicate today."
Listen to Graz.
