Efterklang AB-CD Highlight From 2005 Springer Before Tripper, Efterklang's honored and acclaimed first album, they released Springer in 2003 on their own tiny Rumraket label. Those who were enchanted by the beauty and majesty of Tripper will find Leaf's reissue of Springer no less an astounding display of maximal impact from minimal input. Created with computer equipment recording live instruments, yet sounding as if a full-bodied orchestra has approached the microphones-- much like Mm, Kronos Quartet, My Bloody Valentine and Sigur Ros. Efterklang's EP draws on its classical leanings for gripping drama. The songs are composed with emotional glissandos and pocket symphonics fueled by powerful dual male and female vocals. Efterklang have already begun work on their next release, but for now, Leaf makes Springer available in the States for the first time. "Copenhagen 10-piece Efterklang evoke a combination of Iceland's autistic-rockers Sigur Rs and the surgical assault of latter-period Aphex Twin. Mixing orchestral instruments, choir and electronic racket, Efterklang are a sonic revelation." --Orlando Weekly "Five stars" --The Guardian UK "One of the most stunningly beautiful records of the year, maybe ever." --Playback St. Louis "Perhaps it's a credit to the sheer number of cooks in the kitchen, but even with this music's grand scale each song is allowed enough space to be able to breathe on its own. And with their vibrant, continually evolving arrangements, Efterklang...ensures that...this music should continue to reverberate in your memory for a long time to come." --Pitchfork Format: CD Album   Label: Leaf Catalog: LEF44.2 Origin: UK Listed: 2005-04-05 Activity Status: Usually Available in 1 - 3 days   Price: $8.97   More titles from Efterklang : One-sided (Vinyl) Parades Parades (Vinyl) Springer Springer (Vinyl) Tripper Under Giant Trees (Ltd) specials Lanois, Daniel Here Is What IS Price: $13.73 More Info    Midlake Trials Of Van Occupanther Price: $11.77 More Info
