Gummi is out on Resonant – in Scandinavia it is distributed by 12 Tónar.
The money will be forwarded to Nepenthes – a trustworthy Danish Organization who since 1989 has bought up land to secure and preserve untouched rainforest.
We are very happy that we are able to donate 428£ and we would like to thank everyone who made a bid and to those who won the auctions. We hope you will be happy for those lettered extra limited vinyl editions of Under Giant Trees. According to Nepenthes the 428£ is enough to buy about 13.326,71 m2 of untouched rainforest – that is actually quite a lot!
If you would like to support Nepenthes and the dying rainforest you can do that right here – Support the rainforest.
Read the full story about these hand-lettered vinyls right here.
So far 5 auctions has ended and we have collected 213£! Over the next 6 days another 5 auctions will end, so go make a bid if you fancy a highly limited and rare Efterklang vinyl and sametime you would like to support the dying rainforest.
All revenue will be forwarded to the Danish Organisation Nepenthes, who since 1989 has bought up land to secure and preserve untouched rainforest.

As you may have heard and read many times by now our new release Under Giant Trees is numbered and limited to 4500 cds and 1200 vinyls in total. Tony from The Leaf Label had requested from the vinyl factory that the ones numbered 1-20 where to be put in a marked box – in retrospect this proved to be a bad idea. Apparently somewhere between the factory and Leaf’s UK distributor this box has been nicked by some fast running hooligans! So if you ever see these vinyls somewhere do let us know!
So right now, lurking somewhere, someone thinks they have the 20 most exclusive Efterklang records in their possesion. But they can think again! Luckily for us there has been printed too many sleeves for the vinyl. So now we have made a handlettered edition. We have taken 29 vinyls from the high numbered sleeves and given them a new home in a lettered sleeve. The whole alphabet is there inclusive the three Danish extras æøå.
We and Leaf have kept some of these for our personal collections and family, but via The Leaf Labels ebay page we are going to auction 10 of them! They’re going to be listed on eBay, one per day for 10 days, from today (April 26). As a special bonus, each of these 10 copies will include a card signed by each of us (if anyone can be bothered). The 10 letters will be d, i, j, q, u, w, x, z, ø and å
In a karma balancing exercise to make good on behalf of the thief of the first 20, we’ve decided to give all the proceeds from these auctions to charity, and what could be more appropriate for Under Giant Trees than supporting the dying rainforest? The money will be used to buy a piece of untouched rainforest to secure its preservation. The purchase will be made through Nepenthes – a trustworthy Danish organisation that has raised money to buy and preserve areas of the rainforest since 1989. http://www.nepenthes.dk
The starting price is 7 GBP with no reserve, and they’ll be up for 10 days.

As you may already know, the album comes in numbered and limited editions of 4500 cd´s and 1200 white vinyls (unfortunately vinyls are delayed a bit due to some pressing problems). It is released by The Leaf Label in the world and by our own label Rumraket in Denmark.
The artwork is made by Nan Na Hvass and inside the cd´s there are some magic puzzle cards!
In the fall of 2007 we will release a full-lenght album. This album and Under Giant Trees will not share any songs in the tracklistings.
