Songs From Before

Following releases by Set Fire To Flames, Sylvain Chauveau, and Max Richter himself, Songs From Before is the fifth release on FatCat’s 130701 imprint, established as a creative outlet for music of a more orchestrated, instrumental variety. Beautifully recorded and cinematic in scope, Songs From Before once again carries a pensive, emotionally resonant tone throughout that manages to fully engage the listener. Following 2004’s critically acclaimed The Blue Notebooks, Songs From Before provides a further refined, perhaps even subtler take on Max’s narrative landscape, yet sounds as contemporary and impacting as any of his previous work.
