Handling [12" Vinyl]

F.S. Blumm & Nils Frahm - Handling [12" Vinyl]

A luminous new chapter in a singular collaboration Handling, Nils Frahm and F.S. Blumm present their fifth collaborative album-an immersive, 40-minute journey across just three tracks that radiate intimacy, invention, and sonic depth. Building on the dub-inflected textures of 2X1=4, the duo now ventures into more delicate, exploratory terrain, where every sound feels intentional and alive. Recorded at Frahm's LEITER studio in Berlin's Funkhaus, Handling is a masterclass in subtlety and sonic storytelling. Each of the three compositions-titled Leuchter-glows with quiet energy, evoking miniature worlds through a rich palette of instruments: pianos, celestas, cristal baschets, glockenspiels, guitars, and a wide array of percussive textures. Blumm and Frahm's long-standing friendship and mutual trust allow for a rare creative freedom. Their contrasting approaches-Blumm's playful chaos and Frahm's structured intuition-merge into a sound that is neither one nor the other, but something entirely new. Handling is not just music-it's a living, breathing sound sculpture, full of warmth, wonder, and the joy of discovery. A must for fans of ambient, experimental, and genre-defying music. 01.
