Description
In whats becoming a tradition, it follows 2013s “Spaces”, a Pitchfork Album of the Year taped at shows over the preceding 18 months, and 2020s “Tripping With Nils Frahm”, also released as a film. “Paris”, nonetheless, is Frahms first live album from a single night, March 21, 2024, and contains ten tracks over a running time of 84 minutes.
Frahms performances have always been known for expanding upon his studio recordings, and “Paris” is no exception. Drawing on his substantial catalogue, the German composer and producer reworks tracks from various albums, and also adds the brand new, luxurious and strangely gripping Opera to the track list.
If he leaves the stage to the same uproarious jubilation with which he was initially greeted, “Paris” makes it clear why hes been so in demand. Hes been booked, frequently for multiple nights, at halls around the world, including Sydneys Opera House, Londons Barbican and LAs Orpheum Theatre. Indeed, the LA Times wrote, Watching him at work, and hearing the audience react, is a little like watching an athlete at the top of his game. Expect nothing less from Nils Frahm on “Paris”, a vital document of this ingenious, gifted musicians endless pursuit of fresh perspectives.
