Efterklang
For Efterklang, change wasn't so much something they consciously set out to bring to their music. It was actually an essential, completely natural characteristic that just defined it. Since their debut album "Tripper" (2004), the Copenhagen-based group have traversed the landscapes of all styles of contemporary music, constantly seeking out new ideas, different traditions and new influences. Artistic creation as a way of mapping inner continents? Albums such as "Magic Chairs" (2010) or "Windflowers" (2021) are filled with atmospheric sprinkles of sound, delicate drawings ranging from ambient to art pop, from indie and post-rock to eclectic chamber music and contemporary classical music. Their new album "Things We Have In Common", out this September, marks Efterklang’s completion of a three-album cycle that now comes together thematically in a collective spirituality and belonging. It’s probably the most polished work so far by the now three-piece outfit, who still manage to shine in a thousand different ways - but always through a prism all of their own.
