Yann Tiersen presents his new album Kerber. The first single, "Ker al Loch", sets the scene for the album – ‘Ker al Loch’ builds up from Tiersen’s gently played piano keys to a full on sensory assault as pulsating electronics cloak the song. The follow up to 2019’s Portrait (acollection of 25 newly recorded tracks from throughout his career), Kerber is very much a new chapter in the Breton artist’s work, one that begins with his most overtly electronic material to date. True to Tiersen’s nuanced and subtle approach, this isn’t a U-turn-like thumping piece of dance music but instead a beautifully textured, highly immersive and thoughtfully constructed electronic world to step inside of. It is both an evolution of what has come before, as well as a new space to explore. On the new album, the piano is the source, but electronics are the environment that they exist within. “You may get this intuitive thinking of, ‘oh it’s piano stuff’, but actually it’s not. I worked on piano tracks to begin with but that’s not the core of it, they are not important. The context is the most important thing – the piano was a precursor to create something for the electronics to work around.” - Yann Tiersen
