We hope you had a fantastic 2010 and we hope your 2011 will be even better!

To celebrate the new year we are hereby giving you a new free remix of Raincoats made by Kasper Winding and also a video featuring the (almost) original version of Raincoats and footage from the Danish web series Robin Färdig by Danish director Daniel Kragh-Jacobsen.

Listen to Raincoats (Kasper Winding Remix)

Download Raincoats (Kasper Winding Remix) here. We suggest that you add this remix to the playlist for your party tonight!

Raincoats + Robin Färdig Video

The entire Robin Färdig web series can be watched at dr.dk/pirattv. Raincoats is the theme song for the series and the Raincoats video gives you a glimpse of the Robin Färdig world. Currently there is no international version of the series but if you understand Danish we recommend the series – it is fun and brings back memories of the troubled times in high school.

Before we say goodbye we want to give you these four recommendations of some of our favorite albums released in 2010.
Casper liked Murder – Gospel of Man a lot
Thomas liked M.I.A – Maya a lot
Rasmus liked Clogs – The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton a lot
Mads liked Owen Pallett – Heartland a lot

Have lots of FUN tonight and take care of each other and the rockets.
Thanks for another great year!

Mads, Casper, Thomas & Rasmus

The year is coming to an end so as usual we all look back and try to remember all the great things that happened. Especially music medias like to indulge in this kind of thing and right now they are all doing their year end lists – and we are of course happy see our Magic Chairs album pop up in a good bunch of these lists.

Our label 4AD also look back and today their Year in Review post is about Efterklang: 4ad.com/efterklang

The Danish Magazine Soundvenue asked us to pick three albums that we liked in 2010. This was not easy as we like around 50 albums released this year. Anyway our selection was just posted today: http://www.soundvenue.com/features/2010/12/14/opsamling-2010-efterklang

We promise to do a bigger post about 2010 later on! Stay tuned.
In the meanwhile feel free to tell us about your favorite albums released this year.

Today we can reveal the 2nd teaser for AN ISLAND, the film we are working on with French director Vincent Moon. The film will have the same length as an album and in it you can see us in several musical experiments and collaborations with more than 200 kids, parents and local musicians on a very special island in the Danish country side.

Today we can also announce the first 23 official screenings of the film. We will take the film with us on tour in February and March and before all the concerts (except in NL and DK) we will be screening An Island.

The teasers can both be watched at the website for the film WWW.ANISLAND.CC and also at our Vimeo account. More teasers will come soon and it should also be mentioned that we have very exciting and democratic plans for how An Island will premiere in early February. We will be needing your kind assistance so stay tuned please!

It will be an seated afternoon concert and screening and it will only cost 30 kroner to get in and enjoy Peter’s incredible live performance and to watch An Island on Amager Bio’s huge screen.
