Two poster boys of modern classical music team up for a three-track EP. On 'Stare' Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm underpin their compositions with a surprising amount of electronic sequencing. Blissful ambient on side A and more sombre moods on side B provide perfect Sunday listening pleasures.

After his elegant contemporary dance scores last year, Peter Broderick takes to soundtracking the documentary film 'Confluence' about the disappearance of several young girls in Idaho around 1980. The depth of despair and fear is felt without even knowing the narrative, a moving album.

'Felt' is the second album of Berlin-based Nils Frahm, who imbues his neo-classical piano composition with an aura of melancholic pop weightlessnes. The album has a subtle electronic edge, harmonies reminiscent of Apparat or The Knife, while the sounds of the actual workings of the piano make the recordings eerily transparent. Great album.

A new collaboration from the talented pianist and composer Nils Frahm with performer and cellist Anne Müller sees a beautiful symbiotic relationship form. String and piano arrangements, sculpted with pulses, rhythms, loops and field recordings make for a boldly unique album. Highly recommended.

Ólafur Arnalds combines neo-classical compositions with a distinct pop music approach, and doesn't shy away from adding occasional rock drums to his subtle chamber music pieces. Not a bad thing, even if we prefer his sublime beatless tracks. Now including a lovely cel-shaded video!
