Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing two new albums. 2024 was recorded in an old Berlin cinema, the Zentrifuge. In search of "their own rhythmic mantras," as Philipp Gropper explains, strange, multi-layered grooves and unfamiliar sounds. Catapulted into strange worlds by Gropper's compositions, PHILM is concerned with the emotional content of these grooves and navigating them together. This adventurous atmosphere in the room and the interpersonal interplay leave their mark on the sound. Because that's exactly what PHILM is all about: a band that's not about outdoing each other with solos, but about finding a shared musical language, creating together, like an interlocking sound machine.

Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing new music. 2025 was recorded live at the Loft in Cologne in April 2025. The sound here is darker, more emotional. The two pieces "no words" I and II are good examples of this, dealing with the bewilderment and horror in the face of current crises, wars, and the repeatedly destructive role of the global North. Between dissonance and beauty, a wide range of emotions opens up. With 2024 and 2025, PHILM are opening a new chapter for themselves, further honing their long-standing and rightly celebrated consistent understanding of jazz, of storytelling through music, which has had a decisive influence on the European avant-garde.
