Nils has confirmed details of an expansive new album, Music For Animals, his first fresh studio material since 2018’s All Melody and 2019’s associated All Encores, and his first full-length album of brand-new music for LEITER.

Unfolding at an unhurried, meditative pace in a celebration of tone, timbre, and texture – and thus of sound itself – Music For Animals offers an unusually immersive experience. “My constant inspiration,” Nils explains, “was something as mesmerising 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, nor do the leaves on a tree in a storm.

⁠
Durton and Streichelfisch – recorded between 2002 and 2005 – will prove a revelation for those who believe Nils only began integrating a wider array of instrumentation into his work with 2013’s Spaces. Electric Piano, meanwhile, was recorded in a single night of improvisations in 2006, and finds him taking his first steps back towards his original instrument.
⁠
The three albums reveal a fascinating glimpse into an era of Nils’ work known until now only to diehard and longstanding fans.
