Screws by Nils Frahm
December 3rd saw the official worldwide release of Nils Frahm’s free birthday gift to his fans, 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 despite the 4 screws that had just been surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with 9 fingers, which later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.
