Abandoned City

Every purchase online or instore gets a free Rough Trade / City Slang sampler CD.

Hauschka is a composer, songwriter and experimental musician who has brought an exciting new perspective to the prepared piano. With 'Abandoned City', Hauschka returns to the solo prepared piano to produce an evocative work full of unexpected grace notes and mysterious sounds. The compositions on 'Abandoned City' awaken the loneliness and unattainable romance of timeless, unfamiliar places, with cinematic melodies full of resonant overtones, bright cheerful keyboard patterns and dark percussive touches. The tracks all bear the names of actual vacant cities.Limited Double CD Version with Bonus 10 track EP 'I Close My Eyes'.LP with Download and Bonus 10 track EP 'I Close My Eyes'.
