Efterklang prep 'Windflowers,' share "Dragonfly" video, announce 2022 North American tour
Danish group Efterklang will be back this fall with their sixth album, Windflowers, which will be out October 8 through City Slang. The trio of Mads Brauer, Rasmus Stolberg and Casper Clausen made it with contributions from Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė, Bert Cools, Øyunn and Christian Balvig, and it finds them in effervescent synthpop mode, exploring themes of hope and change.
The new single is “Dragonfly,” which the band say is about the “ephemeral nature of love.” The video, directed by Søren Lynggaard Andersen, was made during their week-long Sommertræf residency in June in Saftstationen, Denmark and features the band and the album’s contributors. “It was Indre who had the idea of featuring kite flying in the video and shortly after we found a box of abandoned white clothes and then it sort of rolled organically from there,” says Rasmus Stolberg. “We were all on Møn for Efterklang’s Sommertræf (Summer Summit) and took the afternoon and evening off to fly kites, swim and run around and dance silly and un-choreographed in Danish corn fields. It was a beautiful moment with people we love dearly and I am so thankful it’s been captured so stunning and vibrantly by Søren.”
