Mute are delighted to announce the release of Yann Tiersen’s new album Kerber. Out August 27th on limited edition indie exclusive white vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and digital formats.

Kerber is a beautifully textured, highly immersive and thoughtfully constructed piano based album fused with electronic music. Piercing piano keys merge with swirling soundscapes, as Tiersen explores the possibilities of infinite smallness.

There is a clear tonal coherence to the album but also one that remains impossible to predict where it may go next. Tiersen took a lot from the creative process. “I had a really amazing time messing around with my modular system... it was sort of a meditation diving into all the geeky technical stuff.”

The album was created and recorded at The Eskal, the studio he built on Ushant (the island where he lives). ‘Kerber’ is named after a chapel in a small village on the island while each track sonically maps to the landscapes that surround Tiersen’s home.

Kerber follows the 2019 release of Portrait which featured 25 newly recorded songs from throughout Tiersen’s career. With that chapter now behind him, Kerber is very much a new one in his career. One that begins with his most overtly electronic material to date. An extensive North American tour is scheduled for the Fall of 2021.

Mute is excited to announce the final piece of Yann Tiersen’s Kerber project, Kerber Complete; a 4CD box set including a brand new Solo Piano version of Kerber, the original album, Kerber Remixes with bonus material, and Tiersen’s live translation of Kerber, 11 5 18 2 5 18. Out September 15th, this special 4CD set is packaged in a clamshell box with individual card sleeves for each album featuring illustrations by Katy Ann Gilmore and a booklet.

Kerber was initially released in 2021 and was very much a new chapter in the Breton artist’s work. Although there is piano at the core, the album was the most overtly electronic material he had presented to date. This was followed up by Kerber Remixes (a 12” of remixes from Terence Fixmer, Beatrice Dillon, Laurel Halo, Iku Sakan and remix competition winners) and 11 5 18 2 5 18 (a record of reprogrammed, resampled and reimagined tracks from Kerber and additional tracks from his catalog that serves as the perfect insight into Tiersen’s live interpretation of the original album).

This CD box set exhibits the full evolution of the Kerber story, moving from its origins of stripped back piano into its electronic resolution, 11 5 18 2 5 18. It also see Kerber Remixes available for the first time on CD, featuring a new Terence Fixmer remix of “Ker al Loch,” a variety of Yann Tiersen’s remixes of tracks by NEU!, Keeley Forsyth, Michael Price, and Simon Fisher Turner and Edmund de Waal, as well as a brand new song titled “Nivlenn.”
