German musician and composer Nils Frahm has announced a new album called Old Friends New Friends which will be out on December 3rd. “All Numbers End” is the new excerpt. It is a collection of tracks recorded between 2009 and 2021. He explains: “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. With a lot of my records there’s a point where you feel, ‘This is the centrepiece,’ but here I wasn’t really worrying about that. It still feels like my universe, though, and I’m proud that all these things which I never found a way to unite before now work together. It’s like I tossed flowers indiscriminately into a vase and then realised it looked exactly right”.
