Nils Frahm shares a new CD of solo piano music, Night & Day. The CD includes all eleven tracks from both last March’s mini-album, ‘Day’, and its companion collection, ‘Night’.
The album follows Frahm’s latest live release, Paris, which came out in December 2024. With this, he also responds to repeated requests from fans for another CD release.
The tracks on ‘Night & Day’ serve as a reminder that, although Frahm has become widely acclaimed for the intricately arranged, multi-instrumental approach of his most commercially successful albums, he first made his name through meditative solo piano works. These earlier pieces include collections such as 2009’s ‘The Bells’, 2011’s ‘Felt’, and 2012’s ‘Screws’.

F.S.Blumm and Nils Frahm share their fifth collaborative album, Handling. Containing three tracks but 40 minutes long, it finds the duo advancing from 2021’s dub-influenced 2X1=4, deploying its lessons in ambitious new territory that also nods to earlier collections. Recorded at his studio in Berlin’s Funkhaus, the album will be released by Leiter on vinyl and via all digital platforms on September 19, 2025.
Handling’s three exquisitely detailed pieces are each entitled ‘Leuchter,’ German for ‘candlestick,’ encapsulating the LP’s 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.
