- Out in December, the LP spans 23 piano tracks recorded between 2009 and 2021.
Nils Frahm is releasing a new double album on December 3rd.
Out on LEITER, Old Friends New Friends spans 23 solo piano tracks recorded between 2009 and 2021. Almost all are unreleased, having been previously omitted from previous projects.
Frahm, who put the album together during the pandemic, said it's "an anatomy of all my ways of thinking musically and playing. Maybe I could say it's an album I worked on for 12 years, and finally I have enough material?"
He added: "I forgot that some tracks are ten years old, some two, and they're all played on different pianos. Instead I remembered how, as a fan, I love albums like this. It's like I tossed flowers indiscriminately into a vase and then realised it looked exactly right."
Frahm founded LEITER in 2021 with his manager Felix Grimm. The first release, 2X1=4, was the third album from F.S. Blumm & Nils Frahm.
Listen to "All Numbers End."
