Efterklang ('reverberation' in danish) comes from Copenhagen, Denmark. The four core members - Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen, Thomas Husmer and Rasmus Stolberg have been playing together since 2001, but the band has been joined by many more artists along the way since. You could almost say that Efterklang has become more of a community than just a band.
They have been descirbed as post-rock, indie, ambient, pop, electronic, but i think that to set any boundaries for these guys is difficult and frankly - useless, couse Efterklang are here to break them.
These two videos that i have chosen for you to appreciate are outtakes from 48 min long film "An Island". Its a music documentary about Efterklang directed by an award-winning french filmmaker Vincent Moon who has also worked with artists such as R.E.M., Tom Jones and Arcade Fire.
First song is an acoustic version of Efterklang's "Modern Drift" from their latest record "Magic Chairs". Pianolicious.
The second song is called "Alike". I think that this video precisely embraces what Efterklang is all about - interacting with one another, spontaneous creativity and power of music to unify people.
