Wow, what a nice surprise! Today we realized that the music video for our song Mirador just hit the 1.000.000 views mark on Youtube, with no cheating involved:) That never happened for any other Efterklang video before, so this feels kind of special!

The video was made by our good friends Hvass & Hannibal & UFEX, who also did the cover art for our album Parades which Mirador belongs to. Thank you both so much!!!

If you haven’t watched it yet, you can do it right here

With love from a sunny Copenhagen

PS. Also, the two amazing kids Molly & Jojo from America did a wonderful remake of the video

When we played in Philadelphia in March a bunch of friendly people where there to film and record a couple of songs. This week their hard work got featured at www.punkrockvids.com

You can watch a video of us playing Caravan live and there are tons of other videos in there as well – and all of it is for free!

PS. A Hawk and a Hacksaw will play live in Århus tonight. Don´t miss them

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!

The sweet blog-folks from Le Cargo ask us to do an acoustic version of one of our songs (blogotheque style), earlier this year at the Dour Festival, BE. We chose to do Mirador, and it was so much fun!!! Enjoy yourself:)
