The Lumineers' Jeremiah Fraites has announced his solo album, Piano Piano, on social media Wednesday (October 14).

While fans can expect some absolutely incredible music, you won't be getting any lyrics from this album as it's entirely instrumental!

“I'm so excited to finally announce my new solo album,” he wrote. “It’s been a lifelong dream to make an instrumental album centered around a piano. I recorded everything in my home in Denver before moving to Italy.”

Fraites shared the album's artwork along with the release date on social media and fans can expect the album January 22, 2021. While we are three months away from the album, the musician has shared the first two tracks off the album: “Maggie” and “Tokyo.”

I'm so excited to finally announce my new solo album, Piano Piano, coming 1/22! It’s been a lifelong dream to make an instrumental album centered around a piano. I recorded everything in my home in Denver before moving to Italy - capturing as much piano as I could late at night when the house was completely still. I will never forget that time. These recordings are priceless to me. . I would not have been able to do this without my insanely talented musical collaborators: co-producer & engineer @davidofbaron & all the amazing instrumentalists: @rubinofkodheli, @waterman64, @bootjacobson, @josephbranciforte ; and a HUGE thanks to the 40 person Macedonian Orchestra @famesproject. You guys fucking rock! To @asuttonparade for the gorgeous album art and @content_noir for the amazing animations (as seen in the video if you swipe left). Last but not least my uncredited producer @francesca_laz for having the patience to listen to the same song a million different times, a million different ways 😅❤️ . Piano Piano is available for pre-order now at the link in my bio. We're offering a sick Red Smoke vinyl coloring, exclusive to the @dualtonerecords and @mercurykx stores. The first 50 pre-orders will receive a one-of-a-kind, signed polaroid taken by me! . The first two songs, "Maggie" & "Tokyo", are OUT NOW! I hope you guys take a listen and start to love and cherish this record as much as I do. . Jer x 🎹

“I hope you guys take a listen and start to love and cherish this record as much as I do,” he ended his announcement. Naturally, fans are already in love with what they've heard so far and flocked to the comments section to congratulate the musician.

“First two tracks are amazing!! Can’t wait for the full album!” one fan wrote while another commented, “This is absolutely breathtaking. The emotions and memories I can hear in this piece really make me emotional. Thank you for your beautiful music to share with us.”

Friates' wife Francesca gave fans more insight on his writing process via her Instagram Story where she wrote out a quote he said about the new music: “I want listeners to feel almost as if they're sitting on the piano bench next to me. I love the idea of communicating with people through music alone, which can sometimes say more than words ever could.”

Piano Piano is available to pre-order now and Fraites is also sending the first 50 fans who order the album a signed Polaroid!
