Without Wind / Without Air is Roger Eno’s third solo album for Deutsche Grammophon. It follows on from Forgiveness, which was shared earlier this month, and is one of three pieces for solo piano written and performed by Roger on the new album.
Without Wind / Without Air is released digitally and on vinyl today 31 October 2025. A limited-edition LP version of the album includes a signed artcard of an abstract image created by Roger that suggests mayflies dancing above water. The mayfly, a symbol for the brevity of life, also features in Cecily’s cover design for the album. A follow-up to 2023’s the skies, they shift like chords (“a delicate, deeply visceral enchantment” – Atwood Magazine), Without Wind / Without Air borrows its title from a lyric by Italian songwriter Pier Luigi Andreoni.
The album includes solo piano pieces and tracks orchestrated for various combinations of clarinet, guitar, bass, strings, synths, percussion and electronics. Soprano Grace Davidson and sisters Cecily and Lotti Eno make guest vocal appearances, with Roger himself singing on The Moon And The Sea. Jonathan Stockhammer conducts the Scoring Berlin strings on three pieces, while Eno’s friend and producer Christian Badzura arranged and plays on several numbers as well as having co-written the opening and closing tracks.
