Paris

Recorded at the Philharmonie de Paris and one and a half years after releasing his magnum opus ‘Music For Animals’ — described by PopMatters as “a musical waterfall of monumental proportions” — Nils Frahm shares a new live album via his LEITER label. In what’s becoming a tradition, it follows 2013’s ‘Spaces’, a Pitchfork Album of the Year taped at shows over the preceding 18 months, and 2020’s ‘Tripping With Nils Frahm’, also released as a film. The latter, arriving in the wake of 2019’s ‘All Melody’ and its 2020 companion, ‘All Encores’, was recorded during shows in Berlin’s grandiose Funkhaus Saal 1, once the largest studio in the former GDR’s radio complex. Paris, nonetheless, is Frahm’s first live album from a single night, March 21, 2024, and contains ten tracks over a running time of 84 minutes.
