“Nils Frahm & F.S. Blumm have released their new album 2X1=4. The fourth collaborative album between the two of them, the seven tracks explores ambient dub worlds that have been they often occupy on their own and will come together to create. The two composers and producers met in the early 2000’s. A mutual admiration for each other’s work sparked the interest and they created their first album “Music For Lovers Music Versus Time” in 2010. Now they have created “2X1=4” with a different sonic palate, but in the same era as “Tag Eins Tag Zwei.” The final track on “2X1=4” was created as they were finishing up their third album. “None of this is too serious. The record is only as much of a dub record as the ones before are jazz records,” explains Frahm. There are notes of dub sprinkled in throughout that help guide the drums and percussion like on “Raw Chef,” but soft, almost jazzy ambient compositions are the bedrock of this project. The 13-minute epic “Sarah & Eve” is the best snapshot of the LP with soft dubby production, with distant, echoing saxophone and organs drawing you into its hypnotic daze. The songs are long and drawn out, oscillating between the coldness of a long winter night and the warmth of a new spring day. It manages to fit with the fall months approaching quite quickly.“ (magneticmag) Trouwens de echte naam van F.S. Blumm is Frank Schültge.
