Efterklang is a band based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and consists of 4 core members: Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen, Thomas Husmer and Rasmus Stolberg. The four Danes have playing together since December 2000 when their childhood ambitions to make music finally kicked in. Known for their 'otherworldy' sounding pop songs with expansive soundscapes and ethereal vocals and lyrics, Efterklang's music knows no boundaries which makes for an unpredictable, albeit, enjoyable listening experience. One could compare them to Arcade Fire or Sigur Rós in that their musical scope is not only broad, but seems to have no regard for pop-linearity, which is a very good thing. Efterklang's 2004 debut album 'Tripper' released on The Leaf Label, still stands as the fastest selling debut album in the Danish label's 15 year history. Their second full-length album, 'Parades' (2007), pushed things to another level altogether. The recordings involved more than 30 guest musicians, including a string quartet, a brass quintet and three separate choirs. The video for the album's lead single, 'Mirador,' has now racked up over one million views on Youtube. According to Mojo and Drowned in Sound the album was among the 25 best records released in 2007, while Clash magazine acclaimed it as one of the Top 40 albums in their five-year history. Efterklang are well-known for their stunning live shows. Following the release of 'Parades' the band took their eight-piece live band on the road for 15 months, playing more than 130 concerts across North America, Asia and Europe. The tour established the band as one of the most fascinating and uplifting live acts around today.
