Canon Blue : Halcyon EP
My Old Kentucky Blog — Christmas is over, but in keeping with the idea that it is better to give than receive, Canon Blue (Daniel James) has made you a present - four brand new songs for free to be exact - and what a gift it is. Just this year he released his debut album, Colonies, through the Copenhagen-based label Rumraket. The album was mixed by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and mastered by Cristian Vogel, yet, most impressively, James was responsible for all the instruments played throughout the record. This time around, ...

News: Slaraffenland, Efterklang Do Joint North American Tour
Pitchfork Media - Today — Parades and a Private Cinema? This Efterklang and Slaraffenland tour sounds pretty nice already! It's a match made in post-rock heaven-- or simply Copenhagen, Denmark, the hometown of both bands in question. The joint tour will take our intrepid Danes on a month-long journey through North America, beginning May 6 in Denver. For Efterklang, it's a very special occasion: their very first U.S. tour. Each band has a handful of gigs outside the transatlantic voyage too, with Efterklang even playing a show on a ferry out on the ...

Efterklang: touring North America
Puddlegum — Efterklang landed in Denver yesterday to begin their first US tour. They will spend a month traveling the North American continent with a fellow Danish band, Slaraffenland, performing two shows in Canada after coasting along the Western and Eastern states. Efterklang is growing in popularity in Europe, touring frequently in between recording sessions and managing their own label, Rumraket. While on tour the five piece band is joined by four “live-band members” on ...

Their 2008 debut Black Diamond, previously only available overseas, will be purchasable in these United States starting April 7 thanks to the Fabric label. Because people in the U.S. will still be buying music in a couple months, right? -- Copenhagen, stand up. Danish collective Efterklang will represent on a U.S. tour that starts in ...

Reaching back to Elbow’s Cast Of Thousands
.: chromewaves.net v7.5 — elbow.co.ukMy relationship with Elbow has been circuitous to say the least. Their debut Asleep In The Back failed to engage and I didn’t give them another chance until 2005’s Leaders Of The Free World, a record liked well enough, but it wasn’t until last year’s The Seldom Seen Kid that they really finally clicked - partly thanks to them crafting a terrific album but also because of my finally being able to reconcile expectation with reality. And so it’s kind of ironic that the one album of ...

GAFFA.dk - artikler, nyheder og anmeldelser — 25. februar Ankom til Heather Brodericks hus i Portland sent om aftenen. Heather er vores amerikanske pianist og et relativt nyt medlem i Efterklangs liveband. Hun er s ster til vores violinist, Peter Broderick, som har turneret med os i snart halvandet r. Selve flyveturen gik glat med en lille forsinkelse p et par timer i Chicago, hvilket ikke gjorde noget, for vores nye amerikanske guitarist Daniel James, aka Canon Blue fra Nashville, var st dt til, og s havde vi mere tid til at snakke med ham. Vi havde rejst siden middag og var fremme ved midnat lokal tid, hvilket med en tidsforskel p ni timer bet d, at vi ...

I like to say their name the way I think (yes I know he’s Austrian) Arnold Schwarzenegger would say it: ef-ta-klaang . I live in Georgia though, so it probably sounds more like “YEE HAW, EFTER-KLAN-G, YA’LL!” Anyway, you can find out the specific dates at their official site . - ...

GAFFA.dk - artikler, nyheder og anmeldelser — 9. marts S er vi tilbage i Visalia for anden gang. Endnu et af de steder p kloden, man ikke havde forestillet sig at bes ge mere end 0 gange. Visalia er en lille bitte by, som nok er ukendt for de fleste. Men byen ligger ganske bekvemt, hvis man som turnerende band kommer fra San Francisco og skal til LA. Vi har ogs en god h ndfuld trofaste fans her, og den lokale booker er b de s d og ih rdig, s det skal nok blive en god aften. Aftenens f rste opvarmningsband hed Ghost to Falco. Og hvilken dejlig overraskelse. Det er ganske normalt p klubberne i US, at man har to eller tre opvarmningsbands inden hovednavnet, ...

SXSW Top 10 Live Acts
Austin Town Hall — Is anyone else just a little bit sad today as we wrap up another amazing SXSW Festival in Austin? I know we here at ATH are as depressed as anyone to head back into the real world today. Gone are the carefree days of roaming around downtown in search of the best music and the best parties with free red bull and vodka. While still nursing our hangovers and mending our bruises, we would like to share with you the best live acts that we caught this past week. You may have heard of most of these bands or they may be completely new to you, but regardless, these bands brought the noise at ...

GAFFA.dk - artikler, nyheder og anmeldelser — Onsdag 18/3 Det var solskin, da vi n rmede os Austin ved middagstid. Vi k rte sydp gennem Texas, og jo t ttere, vi kom p byen, jo flere bandbusser overhalede vi p vejen. Jeg tror, at vi alle havde sommerfugle i maven. Det f ltes godt endeligt at ankomme til South By South West. Vi har set frem til dette l nge. Efterklang har f rdiggjort forpligtelserne knyttet til vores hidtidige pladekontrakt, og SXSW er derfor en perfekt timet mulighed for at pr sentere os for st rre pladeselskaber. Som det allerf rste skulle vi tjekke ind p Austin Convention Center. Her var der en million mennesker, men ved et rent tilf ...

GAFFA.dk - artikler, nyheder og anmeldelser — 22.-26. marts 2009 De f rste dage, efter at vi havde spillet p SXSW, var forholdsvis h rde. Det var lidt af et antiklimaks at turnere normalt igen. Ubevidst var SXSW gennem hele f rste halvdel af turen drivkraften, og nu da det var forbi, f ltes det pludseligt lidt tomt. Koncerten i Tallahassee blev heller ikke ligefrem en k mpe succes. Lyden var d rlig, salen var kvart fyldt, og vi var tr tte efter to dages intens k rsel. Da vi spillede i Atlanta om tirsdagen, var det blevet lidt bedre, men vi var stadig slet ikke p toppen. Det hjalp heller ikke, at flere af os var blevet fork lede. Det blev klart bedre i Chapel ...

Vi havde aldrig forestillet os, at vi ville f den slags tilkendegivelse fra s unge mennesker, s vi blev jo bl st helt omkuld. I dag var b rnene k rt sammen med deres far til Boston for at m de os. Vi havde ogs inviteret dem til at fremf re deres version af "Mirador" som en lille overraskelse for vores publikum. Det var en selvskreven succes. Molly spillede klaver og sang (sin egen tekst), og Jojo spillede trommer. ...

BKLYN Song of the Day — Sparkly Happy Danes Aren't they all? Well not so much actually unless biker gangs make you happy. There are clearly some though, like Efterklang. They bang on old tin toys like Psapp, yet also at times drift small and introspective (or as small and introspective as you can be when you make records with 28 instruments and 3 choirs). They grew up on a tiny island near Germany where they avoided all musical influences besides sea shanties and of course the ...

Mew – No More Stories are Told…
Austin Town Hall — ... While the lyrics seem to paint a bleak story, based on the title of the album alone, the music doesn’t necessarily comply with the overall emotional aesthetic No More Stories are Told… would leave one to believe. “Hawaii” is an energetic number that recalls a multitude of bands that have hit the scene lately such as Efterklang. Steady percussion and serpentine guitar collide with gang vocals before Bjerre comes in alone.  It’s a perfect Hawaiin themed song, aside from the abstract approach to ...

Nyhed: Efterklang skriver kontrakt med 4AD
GAFFA.dk - artikler, nyheder og anmeldelser — Efterklang oplyser, at de netop har skrevet international kontrakt med det London-baserede pladeselskab 4AD, som de fort ller er et af deres absolutte yndlingsselskaber i verden.

Ward, Beirut, Deerhunter, St. Vincent, Scott Walker og mange flere. 4AD vil udgive Efterklangs tredje album, der ventes p gaden i f rste kvartal af 2010. I Skandinavien vil Efterklang dog, vanen tro, udgive albummet p deres eget selskab Rumraket. Kontrakten med 4AD kom i stand i forbindelse med ...

Efterklang & The Danish National Chamber Orchestra – Performing Parades
State Magazine — There’s nothing quite like a live album to make you expect disappointment. Although Youtube has been accused of helping kill off the genre, the live album still stands as a grand testament to a band’s success. And while the majority of live albums are devoid of the magic of the moment, orchestral group Efterklang have thrown caution to the wind, joining forces with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra to attempt to preserve their live sound for all time complete with their own twist. Performing Parades is a limited edition live album and is Efterklang’s grandest project to date as it ...

album review: efterklang
BaebleMusic — [image] In the hopes of breathing new life into songs that weren't actually old, let alone dead, orchestral rockers Efterklang partnered with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra in Copenhagen one September evening in 2008 to deliver one of their signature transcendental live performances. Captured on audio and video, the four-to-seven piece Danish outfit performed their second studio album Parades in its entirety, dubbing the effort Performing Parades . The band's first live album promises rich harmonies, energetic musical narrative, anti-climactic build-ups, and of course, everything else you heard ...

Denmark’s Efterklang has given me so many wonderful musical experiences, – sometimes so strong that I connect some of their songs to times, places and I may even remember the weather on that specific day I listened and had the special experience.

Efterklang!
the torture garden — ... One of my favourite bands of the decade (and makers of a new record which I am eagerly awaiting) are Efterklang. Their music is the kind of racket that can make every little facet of your life seem like a Big Deal, and yet somehow make you feel like there's nothing you can't handle. Rasmus, bass player and all-round super-nice guy, agreed to write a little bit about his four favourite records of this decade, and indeed other decades, but I don't mind really, it's not like I have editors. ...

Woodpigeon prepare third fourth fifth album, tour
.: chromewaves.net v7.5 — Leigh RightonFor a band that’s so good at doing things quietly, Calgary’s Woodpigeon certainly has a thing for volume. Their debut Songbook was originally released in 2006 in Canada and Japan, then reissued in Europe in 2008 to great critical acclaim. Their next release Treasury Library Canada wasn’t even intended to be a proper follow-up – just a collection of outtakes and leftovers from Songbook intended for sale as a limited run direct from the band. Thankfully, it became clear very quickly that it was ...
