It is Friday today, the weekend has almost already started and we are at the last day of The Efterklang Gift Week. As this is the farewell to the Gift Week we have a lot of stuff for you today.

First we present to you a remix of First Floor Power´s God Damn Your Fingers. The remix is made by Casper Clausen from Efterklang and this might be his first official work ever in his own name!
Visit: First Floor Power - Listen to the original version
Download: God Damn Your Fingers - Casper Clausen remix Mp3

Then next we have two videos!
A new video for Doppelgänger from our album Tripper (2004) and a video for Mimeo from our album Parades (2007). The last one has been online for some time but we never presented it properly as it truly deserve. Please enjoy the videos we think they are brilliant both of them.

Hello friend and a very happy Wednesday to you!
It is Day 3 of our Gift Week and today we have something very special for you! It is a new music video for our song Cutting Ice To Snow made by Jeremiah Zagar and Herzliya Films from New York.

Jeremiah is currently riding a wave of acclaim and success for his documentary film In a Dream. The film uses Efterklang music and that is how and why this video developed. The material used in the video is deleted scenes and extra material for the documentary. We really like this video! It is very uplifting and different at the same time. We hope you will like it too!

ENJOY!

Redrop was released on our debut mini-album Springer in May 2003. This free MP3 is a cover version made by Josh Childs. We don´t know much about Josh. He emailed us this cover and we like it very very much! Thats basically all we know about Josh.

If Josh reads this then maybe he can comment with some info about himself and his music?

ENJOY!

We won our first 3 awards! YAY! Steppeulven is an annual award show arranged by the music critics in Denmark. We won Best Album, Best Group and Best Composers!

We were not there to receive the prices as we are touring these days (see below) - so all our parents accepted the prices on our behalf! Thank you moms and dads! Also thank you to all the Danish critics for liking our music!

All the great artists who we play live are members of our new live-band!! (except for the surprise!!)
Please come and celebrate the release with us! Free Miller Beers from 19:00 until we run dry…

there is a fresh man in the Rumraket posse! His names is Daniel James, he lives in Nashville, USA and under the name Canon Blue he makes music we adore.

He is a one-man army and without doubt his album Colonies is the most fierce album yet to be released on our label Rumraket. The album has been mixed by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear and mastered by Cristian Vogel.

September 24th Colonies is released!

Yes, it’s so true. Mads came home with the final master from London, and we sang along with the summer winds and drank champagne to the early morning.
We simply can’t wait to share it with all of you!!!
Lots of love from all of us…

Ps. Title & release date will be revealed very soon (attentive souls already know the half of it)
