Well, they're back thankfully, not that anyone really gives a shite judging by the thread, but I like this, and it's in Danish too.

Playing the Barbican early next year:
Efterklang Sat 29 Feb 2020, Barbican Hall, 8pm Tickets £20 – 25 plus booking fee Seven years after their last album release, Danish band Efterklang make a welcome return with their fifth studio record Altid Sammen (out on 20 Sep 2019 on 4AD). London audiences can hear the new material, as well as songs from the lauded back catalogue, live at the Barbican in February 2020, when the band stops here as part of their European tour in support of the new album. Altid Sammen (meaning “always together”) is deep and sonorous, steeped in the sonic experimentation that has long been their trademark since Tripper, the band’s 2004 debut. As bold and ambitious in scope as their last collection of songs, Piramida, Casper Clausen (vocals), Mads Brauer (synths, electronics) and Rasmus Stolberg (bass) have taken another creative U-turn, this time fusing baroque instrumentation with their signature expansive sound. For perhaps the first time in the band’s history, they took a less-is-more approach to Altid Sammen, engaging on a more primal and emotional level. The album also sees the trio break from tradition with Clausen singing in his mother tongue some of his most personal lyrics thus far. “Altid Sammen’s songs are about belief and togetherness,” Clausen says. “Not in a religious way – none of us are believers of a defined religion. The words are searching for meaning in intimate relationships, in nature, in death and eternity. The bonds we create; to gather, hold hands, sing or share a moment together. We’re all connected, across nations, age, sex and gender. We come together with all of our backgrounds, and we move apart in all sorts of directions, always together.” Efterklang return to the Barbican following sold-out concerts in 2009 (with Britten Sinfonia) and 2012 (The Piramida Concert) and their collaborative opera project Leaves - The Colour of Falling in 2017. Produced by the BarbicanOn sale to Barbican members on Wednesday 12 June 2019On general sale on Friday 14 June 2019

Anyone hear their side project Liima? They were pretty fun live
― Frederik B, Sunday, 16 June 2019 19:55 (four years ago) link
They were so damn great at the Barbican for the Piramida tour, they had Budgie on drums too, it was a fantastic concert.
― MaresNest, Sunday, 16 June 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link
Liima were excellent. The chord change at 5:40 here blows my mind every time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD-mU8pUrow.

Supertanker off the new one is one of their best songs

It's really good, but I'm a bit sad it's not a cover of this Danish classichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQn53MSbQ0E

Absolutely fantastic last night at the Barbican, the third time I've seen them there and they never disappoint.

so bummed to have missed it. the new album is great.
― Pinche Cumbion Bien Loco (stevie), Sunday, 1 March 2020 23:19 (four years ago) link
New single is disappointing, but often the tracks they lead out with are, it is *very* nineties in some weird drum-loopy way.

But, yeah, "Living Other Lives" is very 90s.

My wife has just told me that we have tickets to see them next March, yes!

Amusingly, "Living Other Lives" came up as an advert while I was listening to John Grant on YouTube. I wasn't looking at the screen and it intrigued me more than when I'd deliberately played it.

Super long shot, but I may have two tix for tomorrow night's concert at Earth in Hackney, no charge. The tube strike has kinda done for us, not being local...Stevie?
― Maresn3st, Monday, 28 February 2022 16:02 (two years ago) link
Ah thanks for the tip but I already have a ticket! Although I didn't know there was going to be a tube strike...

Yeah, we're (wife and I) are no longer in London so it's very tricky to try to get in and out under those circumstances, it's mooted to be across most of the network too.
If you know anyone who might wanna go? Happy to mail yer the pdfs, shame to waste them.
