Nils Frahm announces new 3-hour album and 2023 tour, shares "Right Right Right"

June 17, 2022

Electronic composer Nils Frahm will release a new album, Music For Animals, on September 23 on LEITER, the label he recently founded. Spanning three hours across 10 lengthy tracks, it’s an ambitious album that was inspired by Erik Satie’s concept of “furniture music” that you can leave on while you come and go. “My constant inspiration,” Frahm says, “was something as mesmerizing as watching a great waterfall or the leaves on a tree in a storm. It’s good we have symphonies and music where there’s a development, but a waterfall doesn’t need an Act 1, 2, 3, then an outcome, and nor do the leaves on a tree in a storm. Some people like watching the leaves rustle and the branches move. This record is for them.”

You can listen to the shortest track on the album, “Right Right Right,” which pulses along at a mere seven minutes. Check that out below.

Nils has also announced a 2023 tour that includes a Brooklyn show at Kings Theatre on April 20. Tickets for the whole tour go on sale Friday, June 24 at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
