Description

Press play onLanois’ captivating New instrumental collection,Player, Piano, and you’ll be transported, too. Each song here is a portal, an invitation to lose yourself in the moment and disappear into a world of imagination and memory.Lanoisrecorded the entire collection himself, capturing a series of gentle, exotic piano performances at his studio in Toronto with the help of coproducer Dangerous Wayne Lorenz, and the results are both intimate and expansive all at once. Melodies unfold slowly with patience and grace ethereal arrangements drift around them like fog rolling through the mountains. More than just an album,Player, Pianois a gateway into a cinematic sonic universe full of mystery and wonder, a place where the lines between reality and fantasy blur and deep truths and desires reveal themselves in profound and unexpected ways. ‘Making this record transported me,’ saysDanielLanois. ‘I got to travel to Cuba and Mexico and Jamaica. I got to visit with the ghosts of Erik Satie and Oscar Peterson and Harold Budd. I got to go back in time to my work with Brian Eno and Kate Bush and Emmylou Harris. And I did it all without ever leaving my studio.’ Daniel Lanois is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £23 +P&P
