Efterklang

In the organizer's words:

Efterklang on tour in Germany in November and January

For more than 20 years, the indie rock group Efterklang has been a favorite of fans and critics alike. The Danish trio have transformed themselves time and time again, constantly exploring their sound and music. Now Efterklang are back with their first new music since 2021, opening their next sonic chapter with the single "Getting Reminders". They are supported by Zach Condon from Beirut on trumpet. The track is also a central part of the documentary "Efterklang: The Makedonium Band" and the announcement of an extensive European tour that will celebrate both the new music and the band's 20th anniversary. On the new and very intimate track, Casper Clausen's vocals and acoustic guitar take the lead and Condon's playing adds beautifully to the warm and captivating tapestry of sound. "Getting Reminders" is a flash of light, a domino effect of emotion through a simple memory, like a photo, a word or an encounter with love. Clausen senses in it "a dark and highly political force that is tearing us apart, across country and culture. I want to remind myself that there is a landscape beyond and between us all, where we are free to meet each other." The single coincides with the release of the new documentary "Efterklang: The Makedonium Band" by award-winning director Andreas Johnsen, who follows the band as they spend a week in North Macedonia and assemble a group of local musicians to create a performance in front of the architecturally remarkable Makedonium Independence Monument. It documents a tour of the local music world and offers a fascinating insight into the creative process of a band always on a journey of discovery. Since 2003, Efterklang have released a long list of acclaimed albums and toured internationally with their inclusive and experimental sound, which innovatively combines elements of pop, indie rock, post-rock and electronic music. Now their path has taken them to the Balkans and deep into a vibrant musical tradition. An experience they want to share with their fans on their extensive tour next April.
