Murcof - Una

Fans of the Berlin based Nils Frahm are by now familiar with his beguiling live shows where more often than not fellow touring artists are encouraged to join Frahm on stage – the likes of Rachel Grimes, Rob Lowe of Balmorhea as well as label colleagues Peter Broderick and Ólafur Arnalds have all obliged with fascinating results. It will come as no surprise then that Nils Frahm, an accomplished composer and producer who signed to Erased Tapes in 2009, has extended his collaborative live musings to encompass the recording studio, working for the first time with noted cellist and fellow Berliner Anne Müller to produce 7fingers. 

With their first collective release Frahm and Müller have built a world where modern classical and electronica collide creating an ‘intoxicating and delicious’ collection of songs. Primarily a pianist Nils Frahm provides evidence with 7fingers that he can effortlessly turn electric throwing in loops, samples and glitches to accompany and showcase Müller on cello. Anne Müller, a renowned musician noted for her work with the Wolf-Ferrari-Ensemble, Phillip Boa and recent tours with Agnes Obel, proves an amp musical partner for Frahm. 

As the recognition continues to grow for Nils Frahm’s previous solo piano works Wintermusik and The Bells, 2011 sees a new side to this young talent as he embarks on a detour into strings, symphonies and glitch beats alongside the estimable Anne Müller.

‘The combined talents of wunderkind pianist Frahm and Anne Müller here produce a subtle, seductive chamber music sporadically interleaved with electronic glitches’ **** – Mojo

'Ludwig Van draped in velveteen electronic violence. A record of fractured beauty. A worthwhile venture' (7/10) - Drowned In Sound

‎'Imaginative and surprising collaboration. It teases out goose-bumps in way that alone gives rise to a hope this won’t be the last time we see the two working together' – BBC Music

‘An album that sees headphone electronica, modern classical, and soundtrack music all converge to beautiful, intelligent, often terrifying effect’ Track Of The Day – The Line Of Best Fit

‘One of the most emotionally-evoking neoclassic records of the year’  8/10 – The Silent Ballet

‘7 Fingers is an absolute necessity and will surely stand as one of the better releases of the year’ –  Fluid Radio

Track 7 from the second album, 'Wilderness' from Midas Fall.

Released April 2nd 2013 on Monotreme Records.

Combining elements of electronica, post-rock and alternative rock with subtle progressive undertones, Midas Fall have spent three years carving a distinctive and captivating sound, creating taut, shimmering soundscapes led by the hauntingly melancholic vocals of Elizabeth Heaton.

Their worldwide debut release on Monotreme in 2010, Eleven. Return and Revert, garnered glowing reviews across Europe and beyond, singling the band out as one to watch.

Live supports with Japanese post-rockers Mono, We Were Promised Jetpacks and label-mates 65daysofstatic and Jeniferever, alongside their own headline tours and appearances at festivals including Belgium's Dunk! and Germany's Dark Spring have significantly bolstered the band's fanbase.

Additionally, a synch for their track MovieScreens on BBC3's Lip Service TV series - which has since been released in South America, Canada and Australia - increased the band’s following both at home and overseas.

Their second album, Wilderness, sees the band maturing their sound beautifully, delivering on the promise referenced in their previous reviews. 

Equally accomplished at tender balladry (Borders, Tiny Pieces Will Always Remain) or driving guitar crescendos (BPD, Carnival Song), Midas Fall demonstrate not only their powerful songcraft and musicianship, but also their outstanding production skills – the album was self-recorded, mixed and mastered from home on a minimal budget but sounds like the product of a much more high-end studio.

In November 2012 the band was invited to record a radio Session for BBC Introducing Lancashire, which aired on the 8th of November.

Midas Fall will be touring the UK in April.

Click for the new EP!

This is our first song.  It is about moving from the country to the city, experiencing loneliness and a longing to re-connect with nature and feel at home.  It's been a blast developing our folktronica sound palette, and we're super excited to continue developing it. We're also stoked to share all of our new music with you guys.  Enjoy this one and share it!



Take Me Back

Honestly, Yggdrasil is one of the most ambitious and proudest projects I have done to date.
It is an album in which represents me who I am and where I am going (as a music producer and as a person). In which it faithfully reflect my feelings, my emotions and my way of interpreting what life is.
Sincerely in this album I have put everything I have had in my hands until leaving it as it is today.

Huge thanks to @michaelfkofficial, @dessinbizarre, and @ludvigcimbrelius for participating musically, and to @stereoscenic for giving me the opportunity to release it with them. Without their input, this could not have been done.

Midgard (feat. Ludvig Cimbrelius)

Founded by sonic architect and explorer Robert Raths aka ghostworker in 2007, Erased Tapes is a truly independent record label that has disrupted the industry and rejuvenated the musical landscape. The London-based label has consistently nurtured genre-defying artists from all around the world without losing its avant-garde ethos.

2015 saw BBC 6 Music radio presenter Mary Anne Hobbs stage an Erased Tapes evening featuring Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the prestigious BBC Prom. It was the fastest selling ticket of the entire season. Shortly after Erased Tapes was awarded Best Small Label 2015 at the AIM Awards.

On February 5th 2017 Erased Tapes opened the doors to its new East London home, marking the 10th anniversary by introducing fans and the public to the new Erased Tapes Sound Gallery.

“Ten years of one of the most important record labels of the last few years“ — Gilles Peterson

"Over the last decade, Robert Raths’ label Erased Tapes has developed a sonic profile perfectly in step with the growing taste for quiet, meditative works on the cusp of ambient and chamber music" — The Independent

“The heart-string-tugging London label that floats gently between 20th century composition and ambient music” — Rolling Stone
