Nils’ new double album Old Friends New Friends is out now via his own imprint LEITER.

Within the last months, Nils found the time to browse through his archives, and started to select his favorite piano tracks of the past years. Old Friends New Friends is a collection of works that, for the most part, never found their way on one of his records.

Today, Nils announces a new double album out early December. Old Friends New Friends gathers together 23 solo piano tracks recorded between 2009 and 2021, almost all hitherto unreleased but, for one reason or another, omitted from previous projects. The album offers “an anatomy of all my ways of thinking musically and playing,” Nils says. Ahead of the release, he shares the lead single All Numbers End today.

Old Friends New Friends is out digitally as well as on 2LP and 2CD from December 3. For the US, the physical editions are set for release on December 17.
