MUSIC: Rock/PopEfterklang w/ Slaraffenland and Winterbirds
Copenhagen's Efterklang often swell to ten players to better wow audiences with their earthshaking live shows. As with Sigur Rós and Rachel's, this orchestral pop group is clearly indebted to neo-classical composers like Steve Reich and Philip Glass. But it sets itself apart with a heavy reliance on the human voice, whether in the form of a swelling chorus or the haunted lament of a single singer. The group's latest album, Parades, plays a little bit like Arcade Fire at half speed. Openers and fellow Danes Slaraffenland are a mix of wiry guitars, cool electronics, and soulful vocals more reminiscent of TV on the Radio. [Info Source]
