Old Friends New Friends (LP)
Nils Frahm
Amoeba Review
Nils Frahm's Old Friends New Friends is a double album consisting of twenty-three (mostly) previously unreleased solo piano tracks recorded from 2009-2021. It's a testament to Frahm's talents that these were on the back burner; the songs are thoroughly enchanting and enveloping. The tracks swim fluidly from the intensely emotional to the playful and light, from yearning to joyful. It's a richly-drawn album that feels alive in a way that's hard to describe until you immerse yourself in its beauty. With friends like these, you're in good company indeed.
