Copenhagen ten-piece Efterklang reach
far beyond the expectations of a debut
with this, their ambitious first album for
The Leaf Label. Tripper whispers like
thunder, combining transcendent
melodies with glacial strings and
piano, febrile electronics, hushed
male-female vocals and a Greenlandic
choir. A year in the making, the album is
intense and dramatic; intimate yet

Efterklang means reverberation (literally,
after noise), but is loosely translated
as remembrance, evoking the sense of
yearning at the heart of their work.
Tripper breathes with sensations and
subtleties and emotional depth, bringing
to mind the music of Mm, Rachels and My

Formed in early 2001 by Mads Brauer,
Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg, the
core members soon augmented their
line-up with Rune Mlgaard Fonsecas
piano and Thomas Kirirath Husmers
percussion work. This line-up recorded
their debut EP (and sole release to
date), Springer, on their own Rumraket
label. To accompany the music,
Efterklang recruited Karim Ghahwagi, an
accomplished film-maker whose video
collages are integral to the bands
breathtaking live show (Ghahwagis visual
accompaniment for Prey And Predator can
be viewed at www.efterklang.net). The
current membership is completed by
Kristina Schjelde (trumpet), together
with Hildur rslsdttir and Edda Rn
lafsdttir from Icelands Amina string
quartet, known for their extraordinary
work with Sigur Rs.
