False

Description

False has given me the freedom to develop myself artistically in all kinds of directions, Lambert explains. I can now go anywhere. False the new album by the extraordinary Berlin-based composer and pianist Lambert will be released on November 13th by Mercury KX. All 14 tracks are collaborations, resulting in Lamberts most dazzlingly diverse album yet. Encompassing urgent breakbeats (with Tre B Mal), furious freeform jazz (aided by Pernille Solberg), gliding pedal steel Americana (from both Bob Drew and Jean Daeriou), industrial soundscapes (via Cole Collective) and even, on Room Trail collaboration Spheres, a full-on Autotuned vocal pop workout. False follows hot on the heels of Lamberts stunning True album of last year, and his recent EP of exquisite solo piano pieces Alone II. Lambert is a singular talent whose bold vision and compositional flair is informed as much by pop music and wider culture as it is by any classical repertoire. From 2017s stunning Sweet Apocalypse, a masterful collection of orchestral works concerned with locating moments of beauty amid the dystopian future humanity is fast racing towards, to last years acclaimed True album (nominated for an Opus Klassik award in Germany)and the haunting, delicate Alone and Alone II EPs, Lambert has created his own, spellbinding sonic language that stirs the soul and inspires the mind. In parallel Lamberts live shows have become essential events, evenings of mystique, humour and wonder as Lamberts trios dazzling musicianship is performed while wearing matching horned Sardinian masks. By turns hypnotic, sombre, and enchanting, he excels at creating moods and mesmerising the listener; a deep sense of drama often gives way to an enigmatic playfulness, colourful melodies skipping lightly through his songs. Beautiful The Independent. This music is truly enchanting, playful and sombre, often composed of both, humour and drama, with a deep-focused emphasis on execution and sense where less is undoubtedly, greatly, much more Headphone Commute.
