Chapter Music

Crafted in his new studio located in Berlin's timeless Funkhaus complex, All Melody is the result of two years of work infront and behind the mixing desk.

<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/all-melody">Rough Trade Exclusive Version. One-time pressing Double LP plus exclusive bonus LP, download &amp; CD.</a>

This is the seventh studio album from acclaimed German composer and musician Nils Frahm and was recorded in Berlin. Before he recorded it he spent two years building his entire studio from the woodwork to the electrical cabling before he even got to the mixing desk and instruments.

His new album is born out of the freedom that his new environment provided, allowing Nils to explore without any restrictions. To call the album atmospheric would be underserving. Haunting choral voices surge over floods of organ notes. At times ever so slightly tropical rhythms sneak in, this combination is soothing and calming and at the same time otherworldly. All Melody is proof that music is limitless and timeless, and reflects Nils' own artistic progression - from a boy’s dream to resetting the parameters of music itself.

AOTM 2018

Aussie Ben Montero releases new record under Montero. Available on Green Vinyl.

Montero is Australian musician and artist Ben Montero. New album Performer was recorded at Mark Ronson’s Tileyard studios in London. It is co-produced by Ben, Jay Watson of Tame Impala / Pond / Gum, and Grammy Award winning engineer Riccardo Damian. All instruments were played by Ben, Jay and Riccardo, save some violin by Emily, a waitress from the studio cafe, and electric piano from Ben’s uncle Jason. Performer glories in the widescreen soft rock tradition, updating the romantic classicism of golden era love songs with a psychedelic pop brush. Montero's music evokes the extended soundscapes and textures of 70s prog, the easy listening adult weirdness of Jimmy Webb and Burt Bacharach, and the sports arena pounding of vintage MOR rock - sometimes all in the space of one song. With an emphasis on clear vocals, soaring melodies, lush instrumentation and dreamy glam pomp, Performer ventures into gently surreal realms of romance, yearning, and wonder.
