Juno
CONTEXT: Berlin-based pianist Nils Frahm is already a firebrand in the modern classical world, collaborating with contemporaries such as Peter Broderick, Ólafur Arnalds and Anne Müller. His unconventional approach to an age-old instrument, played contemplatively and intimately, has won him many fans around the world. Having just returned with his already critically acclaimed new album FELT, November 7th sees Frahm surprise his fans with a highly limited 7-inch EP release on Erased Tapes. JUNO is an ode and a thank you to his dear friend and label mate Peter Broderick. CONTENT: ‘This session was recorded in just one night sometime in the beginning of 2010. Peter Broderick loved the sound of this synthesiser so much, he asked me to record some solo sketches with it. This is what I came up with. I didn't use any overdubs or punch-ins. See it as a synthesiser solo performance.’ – Nils Frahm JUNO was recorded and mixed by Nils Frahm in his Durton Studio. The cover photograph was taken by Peter Broderick. PRESS FOR FELT: ★★★★ – Mojo | ★★★★ – Uncut | 'Stunning work' ★★★★ – Clash | 'Unparalleled’ ★★★★★ – Muso ‘A remarkable tumble through the sounds and shapes of his imagination’ (9/10) – Drowned In Sound 'Nils Frahm is poised to become something of a sensation' – The Economist's Intelligent Life ‘If there’s any justice The Bells, along with his recently released Wintermusik set, will expose Frahm to a wider audience, a demographic with a seemingly insatiable appetite for more prime neo-classicism’ – BBC Music
