i only came across their stuff recently but they've got me hook, line and sinker.

WHY didn't I come across Tripper sooner??! And the Under Giant Trees EP - hard to find the words to describe how good those sounds are.

One band I definitely want to see live at some point.

Just recently got these two exact releases, I'm agog! I didn't know them before either! only heard their remix of Campfire by Grizzly Bear, all tinkly it is.
Under Giant Trees artwork=v.nice

 

[La La]

cool

isnt it so annoying though, when you hear a band who have been around for a few years and you think "fuck! how did i miss this!??"


will just have to make up for it and play them nonstop for the next while I think.

im still agog too!

 

[dowel]

agog I'm up at 7.13!!! and on thumped, but I've to check am I registered in this constitchyinmyside or at homehome, ya know?
Efterklang 4 ever!

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

really good band, new lp is great

 

[Mitchum]

Yeah new er, e.p. is pretty good (too short for an album, Shirley?). Saw them play as a four-piece in London a few years ago and it was pedestrian enough tbh. Like a poor man's Mum.
Yer man Darragh Purcell tried to bring them over a few years back too when Tripper was setting the folktronica world alight but they wanted not only an outrageous fee but they wanted to play with a string quartet.

 

[Shock]

Picked up Under Giant Trees the other day, only picked it up because
of the cover!

& i thought i was the only one!

thanks for posting this jim!!!

omg now i'm excited. even if 17 blips is a bit steep but.

 

[flashback]

yeah. They are good enough alright.

What does it mean? Background noise or something? After noise?



edit : "reverberation" according to wiki. My danish powers are weak. They are from Copenhagen too.... no surprise there really. Coolest city I've been too.

 

[Grame]

Got the new album (Parades) this week in the post. I was never really into the band before, but it's deadly. I think they're my new favorite Grizzly Bear...

 

[hermie]

really getting into these lately!

where have people been getting their records? online or in the shops?

 

[Mitchum]

how long is the EP / LP?

how many songs?

Five songs-clocks in at 25 mins or thereabouts.

Peter Broderick will be playing violin for them on this tour & he'll be supporting. His own music on Type Records is well worth hearing too.

SINGLE OF THE WEEK
EFTERKLANG – Mirador (Leaf) – Just how good is this? There’s just too much good music! This is just so wonderfully good. They’re from Denmark and they just glow in such a unique way. All orchestral and all spectacular and parping bits and majestic and choral and heaven born and ever bright – strings and heavenly horns and sea nymphs and triumphant parades of magnificent ambition. A four track EP and each of the four as majestic as the one that swept all before – vibrant and cinematic and intimate and unique and just so so right and yes, they really are heaven born and ever bright – an so uplifting they make Sigur Ros sound like Leonard Cohen – wonderful, apocalyptically beautiful – Sigur Ros, Mew, John Adams – wonderful - www.myspace.com/efterklang
