Felix Manuel, the DJ and producer better known as Djrum, has a way with sleights of hand.
Under Tangled Silence, Manuel’s third album, pulls off a similar feat, but to subtler, more poetic effect.
But unlike the rowdy melee of his DJing, Under Tangled Silence distills these sounds into something fluid, seamless, and technically virtuosic.
Manuel has played piano since the age of seven, but only gradually wove the instrument into his records.
(Manuel says that “Waxcap,” the album’s second track, began as a jazzy improv he later developed further.)
