Slaraffenland was introduced to me by Lucas and it just so happens that they are also participating in this year's SXSW. Not to mention I fell in love with their music, which reminds me of a younger edgier Explosions in the Sky . Slaraffenland hails from Copenhagen, Denmark and according to their myspace page "Slaraffenland is the Scandinavian word for "the land of milk and honey".

Its been over a year since we took you on a trip to Slaraffenland (danish for land of milk and honey), and now its time to make a return voyage as the band prepares to release what could be their breakout album in Private Cinema. We have a tendency to loves the Danes, and these guys are no exception. The sonic landscape they cover is vast and deep. Bringing to mind some of the best of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky on drugs. Its gotten the attention of several [...]

Hey everybody...how time flies..if anyone still reads this: cool. What you see above is the flyer for our upcoming shows in Austin during SXSW. It's pretty self-explanatory, but here's some music of two of the artists playing...Enjoy! Paul Duncan - Red Eagle & Slaraffenland - Polaroids
Download: Slaraffenland--"Polaroids" I really want to say something expressive and artsy-fartsy about how this record makes me feel, but it's difficult for me to enunciate what's so engaging about it. I know this sounds like "crit-speak," but it's kind of where I wanted Radiohead to go after Kid A . Slaraffenland doesn't sound like Radiohead necessarily, but it's the kind of experimental, claustrophobic, fractured pop that I wanted them to make after hearing the track "National Anthem." Private Cinema has intertia. It's all tightly wound, tensing on the [...]

I sent "Polaroids" (it's a song, get your mind out of the gutter) to a friend a couple weeks ago and it was because I loved it so much. It's not the typical Indie sound that I have become accustomed to over the past couple of years, but it is music I welcome with open arms. The band is Slaraffenland and they've been around for awhile, but haven't been given much notice or hype. So I'm going to tell you, they rock, they are fun...you need to give them a listen. =o) So I'm [...]
The coup de grâce to our coverage of KoRn's Unplugged performance, in six words: Robert Smith needs a new agent....
I initially raved about Denmark's Slaraffenland a little over a year ago when the group first released their excellent Jinkatawa ep on the Honningmand label. Comprised of only four songs, Jinkatawa was a clear and concise statement of controlled improvisation and experimentalist art rock. Earlier this week I opened my mailbox, and to my [...]
'Slaraffenland' is a word used in Denmark and Norway for a fantasy-place, a paradise where there's no need to work and the food flies into your mouth. 'Slaraffenland' is a place where lazy people gets all that they need without doing too much to get it, - the land of milk and honey. 'Slaraffenland' is also the name of an interesting band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their music is created in
Slarafffenland means "land of milk and honey" in Denmark. These Danes, based in Copenhagen, explore every avenue and instrument they can to make their music. The bring in a brass section, woodwinds and strings and combine it with group vocals and eletronic and noise elements. It's multi-layered and very, very fresh. Their sound blends up Sonic Youth, some Sigur Ros and some Architecture In Helsinki even. I didn't know this before I started writing, but I just found out that they'll be down at SXSW [...]
