German duo Grandbrothers<\/a> conquered our ears a couple of years ago with their divine debut album Dilation<\/em>. So we’re pleased to know a new album will follow later this year. Entitled Open<\/em>, the effort sees German-Turkish pianist Erol Sarp and Swiss engineer\/mechanic\/sofware designer Lukas Vogel continuing an exploratory and open approach to their music, with the grand piano as their one and only centrepiece.<\/p>\n

Open<\/em> will see the light of day on October 20th via City Slang<\/a> but we can already hear a taste from it, the sublime and ravishing first single ‘Bloodflow’. It comes with video directed by Hugo Jenkins, who had this to say about it:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first heard the track I was really intrigued by how certain parts repeated yet kept evolving in a way that felt amazingly effortless. This made me reflect on different forms of spirituality and therapy that often involve repetitive tasks. I tried to let this repetition inform the way the film is structured, often returning to a particular idea but revealing a little more each time we see it.<\/p>\n

The feel of the music is just so emotive I felt an abstract exploration of memory, family and the mother\/daughter relationship made sense to me. The environment I chose to explore this in was drawn from a personal experience I had a few years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
