EFTERKLANG make music for the inspired. But don't feel left out, for
Efterklang inspire all. Otherworldly pop songs, managing to be both
magnificently ambitious and engagingly intimate. Breathtaking
panoramas of sound with few clear antecedents. This is music with no
boundaries. Childhood friends Casper Clausen, Mads Brauer and Rasmus
Stolberg grew up on the small Danish island of Als, close to the
German border. Fuelled by youthful ambition, the trio moved to
Copenhagen where they were joined by Rune Mølgaard and Thomas Husmer,
forming Efterklang in December 2000. Early on, the band instituted a
self-sufficient working method that they still apply to everything
they do: writing, recording, producing and organizing every element of
their music and performance from their Copenhagen bunker. Efterklang
have become known for delivering absolutely stunning live shows.
Efterklang are touring in September this year with slots at several
major UK festivals, and will return in October/November for further
club shows to promote the release of Performing Parades. Did we forget
to mention anything? Oh yeah! Efterklang also run a record label
entitled Rumraket. Their very first signing to the label in 2005 was
the now very famous American band Grizzly Bear and since then has
followed a string of new and respected releases from the small label
that also functions as the home for Efterklang’s output in Denmark.
