Heat

'Blame It All On Love', released 20 October 2023 on Counter Records: https://poolside.lnk.to/biaolSo

This is a Neil Young cover. We wanted to give out some new music while we are finishing up our album. We thought a cover would be a good idea and since we both love Harvest Moon we decided to give it a try. It's super intimidating to cover Neil Young so we tried to make it a lot different, just so we didn't have to "compete" with the master.
Thanks to Coco Morier for the beautiful backing vocals and Dan "Cosmic Kids" Terndrup for his incredible finger snaps!

I've been brushing up on many of my older Fingerstyle pieces again and decided to give this untitled song from 2015 the multitrack treatment.
You can still hear the solo guitar version on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpagLBwE334

Thaw

A new solo guitar piece recorded on the steel string. A slightly different pace from my other recent guitar recordings.

//LYRICS//

Would you show up to my funeral if I wound up dead
or are the memories that easy to forget
Would you lay a flower by my grave
or bring yourself to say lest we forget

Disposable love, why'd you ever have to come
Disposable love why'd you have to knock and run
Disposable love, no one said it would be this hard
Disposable love, how'd you make me feel so numb

Wish that it could of been like the movies you pay to see, 
Were everything's always so perfect
It's all just an act, and the actor cant be me
Well at least thats the way youve made it seem

Disposable love, why'd you ever have to come
Disposable love why'd you have to knock and run
Disposable love, no one said it would be this hard
Disposable love, how'd you make me feel so numb

CAYMAN ISLANDS (KINGS OF CONVENIENCE COVER)

Kings of convenience - Mrs Cold (Cover)

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils
