Till Krüger - Twain

 Two years later, two kids into his future, two albums wiser. Haunting equations, listening to and miring away with Till Krüger’s beautiful second album offer.This time serving a collection of highly narrative tracks, of two different natures: ambient piano sketches alternate with beat-laden tracks. A constant b2b of finely woven tunes opening up an own space and vision. The piano is always in the foreground, both on crisp yet organically adorned electronic ryhthms and in the beautiful and calmingly empty realm of the short, bare piano tracks.The classic touch of a true piano spurred Till’s new body of art. Electronica and ambient piano sketches both serve to set the piano in its right place.„Twain” is about focus, duality and comtemplation. In music and life. All track titles use the „2″ – in various languages. The on- and off-mode translates the intensity with which Till worked on this project incessantly for 2 years, during which he became a father a second time. A time when he took new responsabilities in life and transferred them to his studio. Into piano meloldies that link the loneliness, the soothing and the energetic joy.As Till says, the album’s very first sketch came as a present to his wife, when their first child was born. A foundation to this album: aside the job-world, Till lived for two main projects in these last two years, his family- and his studio work. A time in which he kept himself even further away from external music – to pursue his own. Moulding visions and emotions into music that conjures up deepness like film-sequences. With intimate moods resembling a modern take on chamber music.The studio as an ultimate two year retreat, the freedom to not even think slightly of performing in a club, all churned the dense experience of this LP. What counted for his first album „Gravity”, rings true on „Twain” again: Till may not reduce himself to ‚dance’ anymore, yet he is still birthing trademark tracks, that work like perfectly painted pictures. Recommending themselves as music for film or tv.Ultimately, „Twain” shows us life can have two sides, both of which are beautiful!
