This record is very special to us.

Not only is Daniel James aka Canon Blue our dear friend, he also enlisted Mads and Casper to help him produce this new album and Thomas to play drums on a lot of tracks.

Our close friends in Slaraffenland also guest this album (Mike on bass, Niklas on trombone, Bjørn on drums) and so does amiina who has recorded all the amazing string parts. Peter Broderick guests one song and classical singer Katinka Fogh Vindelev who sings on our ‘Magic Chairs’ album is also featured on the album. It all sort of feel like one big happy family gathering!

If you have been following the announcements about this release you probably also know that, besides future Efterklang releases, this is the very last release we do on our label Rumraket. It really feels like the perfect record to end with. You can read a statement about the close of Rumraket here.

Well enough talk. Take a listen to two songs from the album below and if you are tempted you can buy the album on iTunes or on CD (designed by Hvass&Hannibal) via our Rumraket Shop.

Efterklang

Dear friends
Happy New year to all you and yours: We had the most amazing past year, with so many incredible experiences around the globe… Possibly the best in Efterklang history. Thanks a lot to all of the people making each concert special, and to all of you showing us love one way or another!

Hope 2009 will bring you all much luck

Cheeeers:)
All of us

this will be a quick announcement to the people living in Sweden and others who can watch SVT2 on their tellies!

This Sunday, September 14th SVT2 will broadcast a full hour dedicated to Efterklang between 7pm and 8 pm. They filmed us when we played live in Lund, Sweden last spring and I think the program will include some interviews or footage of us fooling around as well.

We would like to thank Mikael and the SVT2 team for being so super cool!
And we look forward to watch the program as well!

take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend

March 6th 2003 we played our very first concert as Efterklang. It was in Copenhagen at Huset I Magstræde and in order to get the job we had to rent the venue and organize and promote the gig ourselves. To make it a special night we invited a 36 piece brass band (which Thomas used to play in) to share the bill with us – it was a great evening indeed!

Thomas´father took this photo of the concert – we look so different!!

Today will be also be a special day for Efterklang. We are playing in Sønderborg in the southern part of Denmark. This is where Mads, Casper and me (Rasmus) grew up and where we our parents still live – we look forward to play for them and hopefully a lot of their grey haired friends so we can celebrate with style! It will be our debut in Sønderborg!

In order to mark this special day for us we are giving away a completely new song entitled Mirror Mirror. It is a live recording from the Nordklang festival in St. Gallen Switzerland – we played there February the 16th in a former erotic cinema!

DOWNLOAD for free – MIRROR MIRROR (live – 2008)

The two next weeks bring Danish, Swedish and Norwegian concerts – then we go to UK, Ireland, France and Benelux – and then we go somewhere new!! soon to be announced.

Tak to all the nice people at our sold-out hometown show yesterday in Copenhagen. We had so much fun and it was the nicest feeling to play in Copenhagen again after almost two years break!

There is already a new Copenhagen concert lined up. This time in Store Vega where we will do a double concert with Lise Westzynthius March 12th. Tickets are for sale here at Billetlugen.

It is about a week ago now, when Ingmar Bergman passed away on the small island Farö, in his native country Sweden. To watch and feel Bergman´s work means a lot to me, and I felt touched to hear these sad sad news…
These are a couple of recommendations for all of you not familiar with his work:
Persona (watch the intro sequence below), Fanny & Alexander og Wild Strawberries
