I've been transfixed these last few weeks by the snippets of the Vincent Moon film about the Danish band Efterklang , called An Island . The movie was indeed filmed on an island, in the summer, with over 200 musical collaborators for their haunting, magnificent music. I heard about this film late one Oregon night recently, when the rain was pouring outside and I sat, mesmerized by this film from one of my favorite current filmmakers. Alike - Efterklang [...]
Nachdem ich mir inzwischen so viele verschiedene Jahrescharts von so vielen verschiedenen Menschen angeschaut habe, kann ich sie ehrlich gesagt nicht mehr sehen. Wenn man auf ein Jahr zurückblickt, dann kommen einem doch sowieso eher einzelne Momente in den Sinn - oft wild durcheinanderfliegend und höchstens locker verknüpft durch Assoziationen - als irgendwelche Listen. Aber es macht ja doch immer wieder Spaß, seine eigenen Favoriten gegeneinander abzuwägen und zu ordnen, Ranglisten aufzustellen und umzuschmeißen – auch wenn man an dem Kampf dabei beinahe verzweifelt. Ich hoffe jedenfalls ihr habt noch ein offenes Ohr für die Musik, die mich im vergangenen [...]

![[8 Days of Kicksmas 2011] Favorite Remix: Efterklang "Raincoats" (Trentemøller Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3954386_lg.jpg)
Trentemøller has a rare talent for raising goosebumps and with this remix of Efterklang 's 'Raincoats' he's ticked all the boxes. Warm yet dark cinematic soundscapes, narcotic drum grooves, psychedelic surf guitars, flawless production. Everything in its right place. MP3: Raincoats by Efterklang (Trentemoller Remix)
Re: Anders Trentemoller , color me (previously) uber-ignorant. As Reworked/Remixed has needled its way into my consciousness, the thought bubbles that could have appeared overhead have been to the effect of: "My God, this guy is prolific!" and "This is kind of like a contemporary club/electronica/pop/alternati ve equivalent of The White Album ." (I was just spinning the thing, and hadn't looked at the title when those thoughts occurred – I don't read product manuals, either.) With four or five tracks still competing for space in my brain, Reworked/Remixed [...]
Welder er bedst kendt under navnet Eskmo, hvor han producerer kluborienteret breakbeatpræget, dubsteppet og glictchet elektronisk musik. Under navnet Welder, laver han stadig elektronisk musik, men af en helt anden art med, i min optik, mere spændende virkemidler. Det er langt mere organisk lydende — ofte lyder det som et helt orkester, selvom det jo ikke kan passe i og med, Welder er et soloprojekt, så vidt jeg ved. Men Welder har mange andre tricks oppe i ærmet som er perfekt arrangeret og doseret. I flæng kan nævnes operaklingende vokaler, forvrængede vokaler, noget der lyder som et [...]

So, we're getting swamped with buckets of water here on the East Coast. It's usually pretty easy to get bummed out when ample amounts of rain encroach on your daily or weekly activities. To counteract that inevitable feeling, I've decided to take this H2O-drenched month in stride and whip up a playlist to brighten my otherwise dreary and damp days with uplifting rain-related tunes. Who says the barometric pressure needs to define your mood for the day?! These 5 tracks are here to hopefully warm you up. [...]
The German c.sides label gave 10 diverse artists and bands the task to create exclusive new works that all shared one goal: to make a humble contribution toward making this world a better, more just and beautiful place simply by doing what they can do best: to make art and create music, and to embark on a mission of re-exploring the notion of meaning and impact in and through music. Artists had full freedom in their creative process, with the label only providing general guidelines regarding the project's concept and an intended timeframe of 10 to [...]

Tweet I love birthdays! I also love lists. So being asked to list my five favourite tunes posted on SGTMT this year to celebrate our first birthday is a real treat. I've discovered literally heaps of great music since I started babbling about music I like for your enjoyment. Artists I hadn't heard of and now soundtrack my life. Or music from acts I was already into that I hadn't come across before. It's been a riot. Whittling down all my waffling to my [...]
DOWNLOAD: Smooth Summer Sounds (mix) Happy Thursday people! I made you guys a playlist of a bunch of songs I have been listening to this summer that I never got around to posting. Warning: the mix is pretty much all Indie songs, with a dash of electro and some R&B-esque tunes. Hopefully some of you strictly hip hop readers will give it a chance and find something you like. I tried to make the mix so it would be good background music to simply play you through an hour of the day and maybe [...]

Tweet SGTMT pen pals Efterklang have exchanged remixes with their fellow talented Danish pen pal Trentemøller. The results were so good that they decided they deserved a full release of their own and, because they can't be bothered to create the artwork themselves are feeling inclusive, have opened up the cover design to budding designers and artists by way of a competition at Filter Magazine – the winner getting their artwork on the official release. Have a listen to Efterklang's remix of [...]
Portland seems to attract music of the shanty sort, much like All the Apparatus . The ensemble cast have just completed and released All the Apparatus , the self-titled album that will surely have you fawning. An easy comparison would be to make a Decemberists association, but the heavier vocals give me a the feeling of a more complex Murder by Death . It's sort of like a folk-core version of Efterklang , but maybe that's a stretch. Regardless, the group makes sweeping music for sweeping [...]
Efterklang : Raincoats ( Trentemøller Remix) - MP3 MP3
![[Indie/Electronic] Efterklang – Raincoats [Trentemøller Remix]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3583142_lg.jpg)
A little over a year ago Efterklang released their third long player, ' Magic Chairs ', a gorgeous orchestral indie-rock album that, like the bands previous two albums, managed to effortlessly fuse intricate classical arrangements with melodic pop sensibilities. ' Raincoats ', the third single to be lifted from Efterklang's third album is an experimental but insanely catchy song that intros with a simple vocal and hand clap rhythm which then recruits layers of percussion, emotional vocals harmonies and twanging guitar lines as it builds to a majestic crescendo. Efterklang [...]
