Melody Headphones for All

For the past two years, Nils Frahm has been building a brand new studio in Berlin to make his 7th studio album titled All Melody, which will be released on January 26th, 2018 via Erased Tapes, before Nils embarks on his first world tour since 2015. His previous albums have often been accompanied with a story, such as Felt (2011) where he placed felt upon the hammers of the piano out of courtesy to his neighbors when recording late at night in his old bedroom studio, and the following album Screws (2012) when injuring his thumb forced him to play with only nine fingers. His new album, All Melody, is born out of the freedom that his new environment provided, allowing Nils to explore without any restrictions and to keep it all about the melody. Despite being confined within the majestic four walls of the historical East German Funkhaus, buried deep in its reverb chambers, or in an old dry well in Mallorca, All Melody is, in fact, proof that music is limitless, timeless, and reflects that of Nils' own capabilities.

The cover art for All Melody was taken by photographer Lia Darjes in Nils' new studio and designed by Torsten Posselt at FELD. A series of these in-studio photos will be included in a booklet with the physical copy of the album. From a boy's dream to resetting the parameters of music itself, Nils Frahm's journey is one that showcases his unwavering dedication to his craft. With the release of All Melody, he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of music, creating a work that is both captivating and profound. The album's exploration of melody and soundscapes is a testament to Nils' artistry, and the manner in which he has been able to transform his new studio environment into a creative haven is a testament to his vision and determination. As Nils embarks on his first world tour since 2015, audiences can look forward to experiencing the full depth and breadth of his musical abilities, as he shares the magic of All Melody with the world.
