nonkeen, a trio comprising Nils Frahm and two childhood friends, are set to release their debut album The Gamble in 2016.
The tracks on The Gamble are compiled from tapes Frahm engineered over ten years from performances by himself and childhood friends Frederic Gmeiner and Sebastian Singwald. Bonding over a shared love of sound and technology, the trio's friendship, creativity, and hard work is set to be shared with the world for the first time in many years.
The story of nonkeen is fascinating, and can be discovered in full on their website.
The Gamble is out on R&S 5 February next year.
