Handling
Nils Frahm and FS Blumm have confirmed the release of their fifth collaborative album, Handling. Containing three tracks but 40 minutes long, it finds the duo advancing from 2021âs dub-influenced 2X1=4, deploying its lessons in ambitious new territory that also nods to earlier collections.
Handlingâs three exquisitely detailed pieces are each entitled âLeuchter,â German for âcandlestick,â encapsulating the LPâs luminescent glow and rising inner energy. Its scrupulous arrangements exploit a magic cabinet of instruments, among them pianos, celestas and cristal baschets, glockenspiels, guitars and multiple forms of percussion. Their painstakingly engineered improvisations were equally meticulously reassembled in a series of intense editing sessions.
That the duoâs collaboration is built on a friendship and mutual admiration dating back to the early 2000s enables an unusual level of trust, despite both operating in their own distinct manner. âItâs not Frank, itâs not Nils,â they reflect. âWeâve become a new persona.â Handling blends Blummâs organic chaos with Frahmâs structured intuition, offering a distinct and luminous experience that doesnât just sound different, but feels like its own evolving world.
