On the occasion of Franui’s 20th anniversary we happily retrace the paths of bygone days and proudly present col legno’s first vinyl release in decades, so as to be able to transfer the analog directness and atmosphere of these beautiful tunes straight to your home.

The title of the LP (which includes a gatefold cover, a poster and a text about the Musicbanda written by their friend Sven-Eric Bechtolf) refers to the mountain pasture in the East Tyrolean Villgraten valley after which Franui were named.

The album includes a number of “classics” that haven’t been available for many years, as well as an excerpt from the hitherto unreleased production, “Meine Bienen. Eine Schneise.”
