Released to universal acclaim in October 2023, the skies, they shift like chords, Roger Eno’s second solo album for Deutsche Grammophon, contained twelve shimmering musical portraits that traced an evocative and thought-provoking path through sound and silence. Fresh from a series of live performances which included sold-out shows at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and National Sawdust in New York, the British composer and musician now presents a new eight-track mini-album, the skies: rarities. This collection consists of reinterpretations and unreleased highlights from the skies… recording session, together with Eno’s popular 2023 World Piano Day track “Through the Blue (Piano Version)” and the former Amazon Original track “Above and Below”. Out digitally and on 12-inch vinyl on 27 September 2024, the skies: rarities also features Scoring Berlin and the singers of Vocalconsort Berlin. 

Inspired in part by the open skies and landscapes of East Anglia and the threat posed to the region’s biodiversity in our modern world, the music of the skies, they shift like chords has an elegiac feel. The same nostalgic yet vibrant tone flows through Roger Eno’s new Rarities mini-album – listen, for example, to the gentle, ethereal sound of solo piano tracks such as “Changing Light” and “Into Silence”.

    Posted At: April 27, 2022
    The latest solo album by Roger Eno, The Turning Year, comprises fourteen gorgeous, piano-led, compositions. Like little musical vignettes, they paint exquisite pictures in the mind of the listener. Gordon Rutherford reviews for Louder Than War.In the Norfolk village of Heckingham, there sits the, sadly redundant, medieval Church of St. Gregory. Redundant, but not decrepit. Indeed, looking at photographs onl...
