Berlin, Berlin

Fionn Regan’s eighth album, Berlin, Berlin, is a stark, intimate and instinctive set of songs, written and recorded in just five days in East London. Arriving swiftly after the acclaimed O Avalanche, it embraces minimalism, atmosphere and poetic storytelling.

From the spectral opening of Hurricane Bruise to the nocturnal title track and the warm devotion of closing song Love Blood, Berlin, Berlin moves through winter light, rain-soaked streets, lost characters and fleeting romance.

Raw yet richly cinematic, it feels less constructed than discovered. A natural storyteller whose career stretches back to his Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut The End of History, Regan has created a record that feels timeless and quietly radical.
