Pre-Order Thread

New Nils Frahm clocking in at over 3 hours is on the way. No pre-order but it's bound to show up soon



Nils Frahm returns with an expansive new album, ‘Music For Animals‘, his first fresh studio material since 2018’s ‘All Melody’ and 2019’s associated ‘All Encores’.

„Right Right Right“ is the first single of Nils Frahm's upcoming album.

Containing ten tracks and clocking in at over three hours long, it’s an ambitious and compelling set different to anything Frahm’s released to date – in fact, it finds the Piano Day founder declining to use a piano – but at the same time retains many of the qualities that have set the influential musician’s work apart over much of the last two decades.

Unfolding at an unhurried, meditative pace in a celebration of tone, timbre and texture – and thus of sound itself – ‘Music For Animals‘ offers an unusually immersive experience. “My constant inspiration,” Frahm explains, “was something as mesmerising as watching a great waterfall or the leaves on a tree in a storm. It’s good we have symphonies and music where there’s a development, but a waterfall doesn’t need an Act 1, 2, 3, then an outcome, and nor do the leaves on a tree in a storm. Some people like watching the leaves rustle and the branches move. This record is for them”.

‘Music For Animals‘ is a substantial collection that encourages listeners to bask in its tranquility at their chosen depth, demanding only as much attention as they wish to contribute. As Frahm himself happily points out, “It all comes back to that waterfall. If you want to watch it, watch it. If you don’t, then you don’t have to. It will always be the same, yet never quite the same.” Indeed, that’s Music For Animals’ greatest strength. Instantly recognisable, it’s still like nothing else.


EDIT: NVM it's $70 https://leiter.shop.musictoday.com/product/Y9LPLE08/nils-frahm-music-for-animals-4-lp?cp=null

I might wait on this one to see if it's worth it. I have a feeling more modern Nils fans will buy this then realize they don't like it and try to unload it less than MSRP.
