WITHOUT WIND, WITHOUT AIR Roger Eno | Deutsche Grammophon

British composer and multi-instrumentalist Roger Eno announces his new, 3rd album for DG Without Wind / Without Air. It follows on from the success of The Turning Year (2022) and the skies, they shift like chords (2023), which was described by Spectrum Culture with the words: “a remarkable release that unsettles with haunting lines and simultaneously makes one tingle with warmth at a display of beauty”.

The new album includes both solo piano pieces and tracks orchestrated for various combinations of clarinet, guitar, bass, strings, synths, percussion and electronics. There are guest vocal appearances from soprano Grace Davidson and Roger’s daughters Cecily Eno and Lotti Eno, with Roger himself singing on The Moon And The Sea. Jonathan Stockhammer conducts the Scoring Berlin strings on three tracks, while Eno’s friend and producer Christian Badzura arranged and plays on several tracks as well as having co-written the opening and closing numbers, Forgiveness and After Rain.

Listen to a first digital single, Forgiveness. The full album will be released digitally and on vinyl on 31 October.
