Biography
EFTERKLANG have plans for 2012, ideas that are big and beautiful with a keen eye and ear for the small, melodic and humane. Included are an exciting and innovative series of shows in collaboration with Northern Sinfonia, orchestra of The Sage Gateshead, entitled THE PIRAMIDA CONCERTS.
This is another epic scale project from this ever resourceful and imaginative band, the concerts are based around their next album called ‘Piramida’ due for release on the prestigious 4AD label later this year, originated from and were informed by, a special expedition undertaken by the band in 2011, about which they have yet to share any details or information.
Together for more than a decade, Danish band EFTERKLANG have constantly pushed the boundaries of pop experimentalism over the course of three critically acclaimed albums. This desire to experiment has informed their approach to live performances, garnering the band plaudits for playing in diverse settings – whether alongside the Danish National Chamber Orchestra and Britten Sinfonia (‘Performing Parades Tour’) or to the company of family members (Vincent Moon’s An Island documentary).
The band have played more than 350 concerts in over 30 countries across North America, Europe and China over a period of just three and a half years. The ban have also found time for SlaraffenKLANG, a side project the band shares with their friends from the Danish band Slaraffenland, as well as their charity and school project Efterkids.com. 2012 sees even more EfterAction. Keep your senses keenly alert to this fantastical band.
