Happy New Year Video Postcard! with 4 audio snippets!
January 1st, 2010 by rasmusHope you’re all enjoying yourself with family, champagne, coffee, friends, painkillers or whoever or whatever is around you today. Our tiny band have completely split up, for the cause of holiday, being literally spread all over the world. Thomas in Thailand, Rasmus in Istanbul, Casper in Toronto and Mads taking care of business in Copenhagen.
Guess we needed a little break from each other or just simply a little time with someone else. After all, we’ve been seeing the world collectively nearly everyday for the past couple of years, and very soon we’ll be joining forces again (tour dates 2010).
Wow! An entire decade just passed by, and the slipstream of nostalgia just reached our shore. From the view from our nose tips, it’s been a very very special one! Mainly because there was no Efterklang a decade ago, and secondly because we’re having the time of our life!
Lets look ahead. Just around the corner, on February 22nd (23rd in the US) 2010, we’ll release our 3rd studio album: Magic Chairs, coming out on our very own Rumraket label in Scandinavia and our brand new home 4AD in the rest of the world.
We’re ULTRA EXCITED to present it for you!!!
Here is a Happy New Year Video Postcard from our 4 corners of the world to all of you sweet people. The postcard includes 4 snippets of songs from Magic Chairs. Enjoy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU & YOURS. SEE YOU SOOOOON!!!
Rasmus, Mads, Thomas, Casper

hallo efterklang. vielen dank für die happy new year video postcard! die besten wünsche auch für euer 2010.
vielen dank auch noch einmal für euer tolles konzert am 21.11.2009 in hannover, das ich auch schon bei last.fm bejubelt habe:
»Ein traumhaftes persönliches Konzert mit Efterklang in Hannover. Diese Dänen von Efterklang sind problemlos in der Lage träumende Inspiration in Klänge und organische, bodenständige Klänge in traumhafte Inspiration zu verwandeln. Band und Publikum verschmelzen zu einer Einheit und entzünden gemeinsam ein Feuer bunter, runder, wallender und wohliger Gefühle und fantastischer Bilder. Die Temperatur steigt, die Sinne perlen und die innere Statik kommt ins Wanken. Rastlose Musik, die Grenzen öffnet und sich in Schönheit ergießt, die von verwunschenen Orten erzählt und von Träumen, die einem die Sterne zum leuchten bringen. Und zum Schluss verschmelzen Band und Publikum im gemeinsamen Gesang auf der gemeinsamen Bühne zu einem euphorisierten Ganzen.«

Hej Hej Efterklang!
Godt NytÅr!
You guys managed to make me smile again after I just got my bag stolen….bad bad start of 2010…I know …but this made me smile again so tusind tak!
Your Truly Magic Music is actually always making me feel so Goooood!
that I’m often ‘forced’ to- secretly, well no longer- fiddle along on my violin…. so thank you for that inspiration and relaxation!
The new album sounds so very promising!
Plus the Artwork is-as always- ultra-nice!
Hope to see you play again somewhere soon this year!!
I say 12 points to The Netherlands!!!
and well just loads of people in desperate need of Magic Music from you guys!
Amsterdam/ Rotterdam are such Nice, equally cycle friendly cities with f.e. lovely kroketten to overrule your dirrrty polsevogn
Vi Ses!

i have been lsitening to this video on repeat for a few hours
i cannot wait for the album
its different, but i can tell i will love it
January 3rd, 2010 at 23:53
happy new year to you too, and to everybody involved in Efterklang these past few years (Rune, Peter Broderick, Anna Bromsted, H&H… and so many other!). thanks for those lovely messages and for the little touch of exostism!
the snippets sound great ; although I was very excited with the album, I can’t say Modern Drift had totally convinced me, but now I think I see where you’re going with that clearer, poppier sound. I’m sure it will be awesome once more. See you in Paris!
