Roger Eno’s second solo album for Deutsche Grammophon invites listeners to reflect on the nature of sound and silence. *The Skies, They Shift Like Chords* contains a dozen tracks that convey a longing for something lost while projecting a sense of timelessness, like the renewal of the seasons or the rise and fall of breath.
The composer-pianist builds on the soundworld of *The Turning Year*, his first solo album for DG, adding layers of instrumental and electronic colour, and including a song for his eldest daughter, artist, singer and image-maker Cecily Eno. *The Skies, They Shift Like Chords* connects with universal feelings of place and home.
It also reflects the particular roots of Roger Eno’s music in rural East Anglia, a landscape shaped by centuries of agriculture and marked in recent decades by diminishing biodiversity and disturbing ecological changes.
