For fans of: Expansive Ambience

What they're saying: Here is J Simpson at Spectrum on Music For Animals: “It’s his most sprawling and ambitious work to date, clocking in at a mighty three-and-a-half hours of ethereal, transcendent, lush electronic ambient music… 10 sonic worlds in miniature to wander around and get lost in.” And Ted Davis at Pitchfork says of Frahm’s latest: “Music For Animals is meditative and sprawling. But an essence of something cinematically sinister darts beneath its frosty surface, and this dark edge proves to be one of its more alluring aspects.”

What we say: This record is beautiful, spare, and expansive. Another incredible entry into Nils’ formidable and varied catalog.
