Efterklang: new album details, UK tour imminent

Danish avant-indie-pop quintet Efterklang are to release their new album, Parades, on October 15 via Leaf.

The album - tracklisting below - follows this year's Under Giant Trees EP, which received the DiS seal of approval here and went to number one in the Danish charts. The band's last long-player, Tripper, was released in 2004.

That tracklisting:

'Polygyne'
'Mirador'
'Him Poe Poe'
'Horseback Tenors'
'Mimeo'
'Frida Found A Friend'
'Maison de Réflexion'
'Blowing Lungs like Bubbles'
'Caravan'
'Illuminant'
'Cutting Ice to Snow'

Says the band of their new album: “We like the idea that these songs are a huge parade moving past the listener – each section creating a new experience, an individual room of a house. Yet all the elements fit together, so you get a sense of the entire structure as the elements shift and coalesce.”

Yes. Exactly. UK dates are due to be announced very soon. Watch this space. Or this space, where new song 'Cutting Ice To Snow' can be heard. A teaser for Parades can be watched HERE.
