Efterklang

Copenhagen’s Efterklang are releasing Magic Chairs, their third record (and first on 4AD), on February 23rd. Three songs from the album (including “Modern Drift,” which you can get above) are streaming on their website. They also recorded a “Happy New Year 2010 video postcard” with audio clips from four of the new songs. That’s posted below.

Efterklang will be touring the United States this March with Austin’s Balmorhea. The bands come to NYC for a Wednesday, March 3rd show at (Le) Poisson Rouge. Tickets are on sale.

That tour takes them to Austin for SXSW shows which are currently-TBA. The new video for their album-opening “Modern Drift” is posted with all tour dates and more below…

A music video for the song Modern Drift by the Danish band Efterklang. Made by their Danish friend Kristian Leth from The William Blakes (www.speedofsound.com).

The music video is based on Dyrehaven, den Romantiske Skov, a film from 1970 by the acclaimed artists Per Kirkeby and Jørgen Leth (Kristian’s father). The film geek will know that the album title Magic Chairs draws on inspiration from another film by Jørgen Leth.

Modern Drift is the opening song on Efterklang third studio album. Magic Chairs will be released on February 22nd 2010 on Efterklangs own Rumraket label in Scandinavia and on 4AD outside of Scandinavia.
