Biography: Efterklang
Biography:
Efterklang`s post-rock experiments were first heard in December 2000, when childhood friends Casper Clausen (vocals), Mads Brauer (computer), and Rasmus Stolberg (guitar) -- all three having recently located to Copenhagen from the tiny Danish island of Als -- joined musical forces with pianist Rune Mølgaard (piano) and drummer/trumpeter Thomas Husmer. From the start, the band took a D.I.Y. approach to their music, handling all aspects of songwriting, recording, and production in their Copenhagen practice space. The self-released Springer EP was issued in 2003 on the band`s own Rumraket label, with 500 copies packaged in fake fur. That same year, video artist Karim Ghahwagi joined the ensemble and began pairing Efterklang`s music with integrated video collages. Now attracting attention from record labels, the band signed with the Yorkshire-based Leaf Label and issued Tripper in 2004; the orchestral album soon became the fastest-selling debut in the Leaf label`s history. Efterklang`s popularity soared in Denmark, with "Under Giant Trees" debuting at number one on country`s singles chart. Several smaller releases followed -- the reissued version of Springer, the One Sided LP on Philadelphia`s Burnt Toast Vinyl, the five-song Under the Giant Trees -- and Efterklang released their third full-length, Parades, in October 2007.
