To mark 2020's Piano Day and as an acknowledgement to these unprecedented circumstances we find ourselves in, Nils Frahm surprised the world with a collection of eight solo piano pieces, titled Empty, made available digitally in March. Now the highly anticipated physical editions are set for via Erased Tapes in October. Conceived of just before Nils broke his thumb and composed the similarly intimate solo piano album Screws, Empty is a soothing vessel of eight simple and serene pieces originally recorded as the music to a short art film he shot with his friend and film director Benoît Toulemonde. Drifting through emotions from the stark and sobering opener InchFirst Defeat,Inch to the gently euphoric InchNo Step On WingInch and the contemplative but hopeful closer InchBlack Notes,Inch with it's poignant minute of silence, Empty is a comforting score for these turbulent times. Album Tracks 1. First Defeat 2. A Shine 3. No Step on Wing 4. The Big O 5. Second Defeat 6. Shimmer 7. Sonar 8. Black Notes

French gonzo-synth punks and intergalactic scuzzball house band. Miscreants from a future generation. Clad in white from head to toe, bug-eye shades peer out through a dirty water fog. They play a blistering set of songs that will propel them through the atmosphere on a fix of adrenalin in 2019. Is it the past or the future, for the present seems far away? This second album is a breakthrough moment, when the crawling Lo Spider once again takes control of this paranoiac, extra-terrestrial-abducted and abducting quartet and bounces the finished 12 doses into the hands of garage master Jim Diamond for mastering. The result? Another bombastic, swirling garage acid trip through the stratosphere. Insane flights in the spiked punch bowl that is our galaxy. Gonzo space punk a-go-go. The songs on II fly by full of alien abandon. More new-wave than their debut, but still an intergalactic riot. Europe is on the move, succumbing to the infectious tractor beam-like tunes of The Scaners. All that is left is for the rest of the world to awake from their lucid dream state, shake off their shackles, and take flight.1 Please Abduct Me 2 Catch Up With A UFO 3 Random City 4 Mars Attacks 5 Space X-ploration 6 Galactic Race 7 X-ray Glasses 8 Spin Like A Record 9 Don't Run, We're Your Friends 10 No Panic, No Stress 11 Pesticide Kids 12 Run DD Run Album Tracks 1.
