Efterklang ‘I Was Playing Drums’ Video

Efterklang are out with the music video to their new single ‘I Was Playing Drums’, the second release off the Danish indie pop band’s third studio album ‘Magic Chairs’, out now on 4AD. The band write:

Through a lot of hard work, and many days spent sliding about a muddy forest with a very patient actor, the team behind End of the Road Films created this visual counterpart to Efterklang’s newest single. The video was created by Joseph Brett, Simon Taffe and Glenn Taunton with production design by Leila Watts. We hope you enjoy it.

Efterklang & Slaraffenland Release Free Slaraffenklang EP

Efterklang checked in on their blog at MySpace (@efterklang) on Thursday (December 18), announcing that they’ve released a free four track EP of a live set they did with Slaraffenland at Sono Festival 2008. They write:

In May 2008 Efterklang & Slaraffenland were on a joint US tour under the name The Danish Dynamite Tour. Halfway through the tour the bands got a call from back home. The newly established Sono Festival wanted to hear if Slaraffenland and Efterklang could be interested in performing a special concert at their festival. After a very quick talk on the topic it was decided that everyone would love to play in a band with two drummers and a lot of distorted guitars and therefore the offer was accepted.

The 4 songs on this free live EP are all recorded at Sono Festival in Rødovre (a suburb to Copenhagen) November 8th 2008. This was the first and maybe also the last concert with Slaraffenklang. The idea is simple and fun. Slaraffenklang is the mutant band of Efterklang and Slaraffenland. There are 12 musicians on stage, all men, and the songs performed are covers of Efterklang and Slaraffenland. Sometimes just louder and more rumbling versions and sometimes in new slightly new arrangements.
