Музыка и песни Efterklang / Efterklang

|

Уже более двадцати лет Efterklang преодолевает барьеры экспериментального, электронного и эмоционального камерного попа. Анонсируя свой шестой студийный альбом Windflowers, первый для City Slang, датское трио Мадса Брауэра, Расмуса Столберга и Каспера Клаузена продолжает творческое путешествие, которое сблизило их, даже несмотря на то, что их жизни расходятся. Направляя мотивы надежды и изменений, которые олицетворяет одноименная флора, альбом видит их многолетнее сотрудничество и эксперименты, воплощенные в некоторые из их лучших и самых прямых мелодичных моментов на сегодняшний день.

4AD is very excited to announce the release of the next Efterklang album. Their fourth, Piramida, will be out on September 25th. The making of Piramida started out in unusual fashion in August 2011, when the members of Efterklang went on an audio expedition to an abandoned Russian settlement just shy of the North Pole. Spitsbergen is home to more polar bears than people and also to the ghost town of Piramida, which was abandoned overnight in the 90s, and today stands as a slowly decaying ruin. Along with discovering the world’s northernmost grand piano, the trio spent nine days exploring and recording the sounds that would inspire and build the songs on Piramida. With Piramida as their inspiration, Efterklang returned to their studio in Berlin, Germany (the band relocated from their native Copenhagen in 2011). Fashioning these collected sounds into a unified album was no easy task and, like alchemists, the band carefully extracted selected noises and used them to construct traditional musical scales of rhythms and melodies, like a working instrument. For example, the organ sounds on “Sedna” are actually a combination of synthesized recordings from an empty fuel tank and the aforementioned grand piano. Ornate glass lamps provide the tones in “Told To Be Fine”, whilst the very first refrain of album opener “Hollow Mountain” are the sounds of protruding metal spikes being struck from an oil tank (nicknamed “Miss Piggy”)With these manipulated sounds serving as the tools and framework to work within, the band began writing the songs, adding and layering them with more traditional sonic components, with contributions from Peter Broderick (violin), Earl Harvin (drums), Nils Frahm (piano), brass from the Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra, and a 70-piece girls choir. Their first North American show in two years will take place a few days before the album’s release at the majestic Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York on September 22nd. The band will perform with the 19- piece Wordless Music Orchestra. A full tour will follow in early 2013. NPR + National Geographic will be heavily supportive along with press features in Pitchfork, PRI, Magnet, Rolling Stone, Spin, Filter, Paste, Under The Radar, and more. CD, Album

Новый студийный альбом от датских волшебников пост-рока Efterklang. Четвёрка странных датчан осталась верна своему чарующему звучанию с обилием струнных и клавишных инструментов, хорами, перестукиваниями, позвякиваниями и прочими электронными шумелками.
