If You Want To Fight

In your dream you hear the song of the last whale - sinking slowly down into the depths of the Atlantic. In your mind is the enormity of the terrarium. The light shimmers. The sound fades.

Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

Even when the aching
Rises like the sea
Purifies the life
In our blood
And the angels among us
Who fight for everything
Laying down their loves
In the dark

Even in my prison
Of human memory
Held by the weight 
Of times arms
I can hear the voices calling
Spirits of the deep
The only space between us
Is me
Now I'm free

Take me in your hands now
I'm not afraid of 
Finding out what we're made of
I'm in love with you
Walk me through the shadows
No longer scared of
How they became us
The phantoms of youth

I feel through you
Even though I wanna feel
What you're falling through
I feel through you
Don't think for a second 
That I wasn't watching you
I feel through you
Even though I'm a jealous god
I want you to
I feel through you
Have you sail the seven seas 
Til I get to you
Til I'm done with you

Now I'm never ending
Space has taken me
Walking through the garden of God
I can see the ending coming
Beginning as we sing
For you and I the song plays on and on

Pillar Point - Dove

In continuing my explorations of electric guitar, I tried using an extensive palette of guitar textures/sounds in this recording.

The tuning for each guitar is different, but the acoustic lead was played in F-A-D-F-C-E.
