Ever wondered what it's like to be on the road with those most marvellous purveyors of deep and vast sounds, Efterklang? What do you mean you haven't?! Regardless, you're now going to get a little taster, in musical form.
Back in March last year, the Danish collective toured in the US, taking the time to 'road test' songs which were up for their third and current record Magic Chairs. One of those songs was, of course, 'The Soft Beating', which made it onto the record as track seven. What you have below is a documentation of the track, performed across various American places and locations, made by Danish music journalist Ralf Christensen, who followed the band for the final few days or so of the tour. Very nicely shot, cut and that.

What is it with you guys and missing out the Oxford date on this tour...here's a reminder: 22nd April, Academy, Oxford.
Sorry guv!
Copied it from a previous article which didn't have the date in either, hence the lack of OXFORDNESS. Amended forevermore sancionados.
well thats just lovely
i love that song too, one of my faves off the new album
Haha cool.
It just worried me that i'd bought tickets for a non existant date so had to double check it.
Support in London is from Esben and the Witch.
C'est vrai.
