Info for Piano Piano 2

Jeremiah Fraites, Mitbegründer von "The Lumineers", betritt mit seiner zweiten Veröffentlichung, Piano Piano 2, Neuland. Es ist weniger ein Gegenstück zu Piano Piano als vielmehr eine Weiterentwicklung. War Fraites' Debütalbum sparsam und minimalistisch, so ist Piano Piano 2 weitläufig und abenteuerlich und verbindet sein Klavier mit Schichten von Perkussion, akustischer Gitarre, Streichern, Spoken-Word-Schnipseln und blubbernden Synthesizern. Es gibt sogar eine symphonische Coverversion von Radioheads "No Surprises" mit Streichern des mazedonischen FAME'S Studio Orchestra und dem Gesang von Gregory Alan Isakov. Das Ergebnis ist eine cineastische Platte voller Stimmung und Melodie, die den Soundtrack zu einem Film liefert, den es eigentlich gar nicht gibt.

Jeremiah Fraites
is the co-founder, drummer, and multi-instrumentalist of Denver folk-rock band The Lumineers. He cites Beethoven as a musical inspiration from a young age – particularly his sonatas. In 2021, Fraites released his solo debut album ‘Piano Piano’ through Dualtone Records/Mercury KX. The album is a collection of piano-centric instrumental songs that he had been working on for over a decade. It was met with critical acclaim from NPR’s Weekend Edition, Denver Post, NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, American Songwriter, and Earmilk among others

In 2019, Fraites co-wrote ‘Nightshades’, a piece originally written for the Games of Thrones series. In the same year, The Lumineers premiered a visual exploration of their album ‘III’, directed by Kevin Phillips at the Toronto International Film Festival. Fraites has also partnered with the meditation app Calm, and with music technology company Spitfire Audio, for their Originals series on a program called “Firewood Piano.” The program is based on his eccentric upright piano, nicknamed “Firewood,” on which he used to record several songs for his solo debut album.

This album contains no booklet.
