Nils Frahm has confirmed the details of his new album, 'Music For Animals'. Comprising ten tracks and lasting over three hours, it is an ambitious and fascinating collection, unlike anything Frahm has released to date.While the founder of 'Piano Day' has completely dispensed with the use of a piano this time, he has remained true to his stylistic trademarks, which have recognized the artist's influential work over the past two decades.'Music For Animals' unfolds at a tranquil, meditative pace and becomes a haunting, intense experience through the interplay of color, timbre, and texture. "My constant inspiration," says Frahm, "was watching something as fascinating as a giant waterfall or the leaves of a tree in a storm. It's fine that you can hear symphonies and other music that has a certain development. But the waterfall and the leaves don't need a first, second, or third act or a climax. Some people just like to watch the water fall, hear the rustling of the leaves, and watch the branches move. This album is for them."At three hours long, 'Music For Animals' may seem intimidating at first, but in fact, this voluminous work invites the audience to dive as deeply into its tranquility as they wish, appreciating it more or less attentively as needed. Or as Frahm puts it: "It all goes back to that waterfall. If you want to watch it, then watch it. If not, you don't have to. It will always be the same, yet never quite the same." In fact, that is the greatest strength of 'Music For Animals': immediately recognizable yet incomparable.The 3CD set is packaged in a cardboard sleeve and individual cardboard inner sleeves.The 4LP vinyl set comes in a single-pocket cardboard sleeve with black antistatic poly-lined inner sleeves.
