Music For Animals, Nils Frahm, LP

Limited four vinyl LP set. Nils Frahm returns with an expansive album, Music For Animals, his first fresh studio material since 2018's All Melody and 2019's associated All Encores. 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.
