Nils Frahm & F. S. Blumm - 2X1=4 [Green Vinyl]

Limited green colored vinyl LP pressing. Nils Frahm and F. S. Blumm, a revered mainstay of the German underground for over two decades, release their fourth collaborative album. 2X1=4 finds the duo unexpectedly exploring a dub-influenced universe, though in truth it's one already familiar to both. Blumm, for instance, is co-founder of Quasi Dub Development, whose 2014 album, Little-Twister vs Stiff-Neck, featured Lady Ann and Lee Scratch Perry, while Frahm's music - not least 2018's All Melody - has occasionally betrayed a fondness for the form's associated studio techniques, though he concedes wryly that his approach has always been "a little bit more German" than his influences.
