MVW: Efterklang
I cannot get enough Efterklang, a band from Copenhagen, Denmark. I like to refer to them as Sigur Ros’ way more eccentric (and as a result strangely more attractive) sibling. I don’t know about their popularity over in the Nether-regions, but based on their upcoming tour it seems they are making some headway in the States. I plan to go see them when they hit up Hotlanta in May, and if their videos are any indication of what their live show will present I am pretty excited to see them. And since they have quite a few video’s out (their songs just beg to have images accompaning them; heck, I am even working on a video featuring their song “Mimeo”) I thought to myself, “Why limit today’s post to just one music video?” So I am going to do something crazy and offer up three. I know, it is a special day.
Efterklang – Swarming (removed 2/13/09)
Efterklang – Caravan (removed 2/13/09)
Efterklang – Cutting Ice to Snow (removed 2/13/09)
It should also be mentioned that the last video is not technically a music video, but rather clips from the documentary “In A Dream” by Jeremiah Zagar. I felt it was too beautiful a song and video to exclude based on a technicality.
I hope your eyes (and ears) bleed.

Cutting Ice To Snow is an actual video even though it includes bits and pieces from “In A Dream.” The clip was in fact commissioned by the band and we made it entirely from outtakes and alternate takes from the movie.

The names sounds like Ester Drang… weird.
