Apropos of absolutely nothing, here's the newest internet meme that probably won't sweep the nation but whatever, it's ridiculous: Selleck Waterfall Sandwich . The complicated premise here is that you take a picture of actor Tom Selleck , you take a picture of a waterfall, and you take a picture of a sandwich and you just MASH 'EM ALL TOGETHER. What you end up with is magic. And by magic, I mean an actor, water, and deli meat. How can you even go wrong? Now, two things: first, I know this has nothing to do with [...]

Vídeo lindo e música bela, que faz bem pra saúde, dos amiguchos dos minos do Grizzly Bear, os Efterklang . Banda dinamarquesa que está prestes a lançar o álbum Magic Chairs no final de fevereiro. Sterling! A música é a Modern Drift.
It was hard not to notice the prominence of indie bands featured in this year's Super Bowl commercials. We had heard that NFL licensed Wake Up from Arcade Fire and that all proceeds would go to help Partners in Health in their Haitian relief efforts. But we were surprised to find Arcade Fire's song used as the NFL anthem, with several versions playing throughout the game. Then to hear Grizzly Bear [...]

Efterklang is from Copenhagen, Denmark. They seem to be one of the best, yet otherwise unknown, bands we have seen this year. Surprisingly, they have two full-length albums already released. Their soon to be released third album "Magic Chairs" comes out on 2/23. This song is by a Danish group, Efterklang, which stems from a Danish word meaning remembrance or reverberation.

Totally unrelated photo: Wheelbarrow Planters Suggestion: Order your favourite takeaway and eat it lying on the carpet in your living room. Unless it's soup. That could get messy. It'd be your own fault though, I mean who orders takeaway soup? Suggestion: Grab some old paperbacks and get all DIY with this book strap side table. Suggestion: Watch the latest season of Weeds or The Office online because they're not out in Australia yet. Suggestion: Kick off the weekend with 8 in a row from my 2010 playlist (songs downloaded [...]

![[MP3] Her Magic Wand: "Mistakes"](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2310599_lg.jpg)
Nothing like some dreamy pop to start your no longer dreamy day off, am I right? Her Magic Wand, a one-man project out of Paris, France, is equal parts smooth and sugary, with a pinch of a darker undertone. This is some mighty fine electronic pop - reminiscent of Letting Up Despite Great Faults, but slightly rougher. Her Magic Wand recently self-released the Catch A Rainbow EP, which you can pick up at Bandcamp . The EP was recorded, unsurprisingly in these bedroom-pop times of ours, at home with a laptop and a few "actual" [...]
Danish band Quadron specialise in soulful silky-pop with an emphasis on the soul and pop. They are Robin and Coco and if you dig Lykke Li's brand of Scanadavian pop you may very well dig these guys too. Producer Robin Hannibal was worked with Aloe Blacc, Buraka Som Sistema and Omas Keith of Sa-Ra Creative Partners while 21 year-old Coco has sang for the producer collective Boom Clap Bachelors of which Hannibal is part of. Their recent self-titled record was released in Europe last year and it's getting a [...]
Last year Horse Feathers stopped by to film three tunes for My Old Kentucky Blog's LandroMatinee series, all from 2008's Kill Rock Stars release House with No Home , including "Curs in the Weeds" above. The band's lineup has changed a little since this video was recorded (cellist Heather Woods Broderick has moved on, releasing a marvelous solo record and now currently playing with Danish group Efterklang) but here's a welcome look back to that session. Watch all three tunes here . Horse Feathers aren't the only Portland band to stop by [...]
[ download ] There seems to be a flurry of excellent, inventive indie music pouring out of Denmark these days. At the crest of that tide is Efterklang , the Copenhagen-based quartet who will be releasing their third full-length, Magic Chairs , on February 23rd. The album will be the band's first on their new label, 4AD , where they will find like-minded allies in the form of The National, Bon Iver, and St. Vincent.

Bowspirit, a new track from Balmorhea's sophomore effort entitled Constellations , starts like many Balmorhea songs - slow and quite. But what's different about this one is it's pull. What do I mean? I mean that little anxiety attack you get when anticipation gets the best of you and the you can feel the build of that tugging string section - all the way to moon . MP3 :: Balmorhea - Bowspirit Constellations is out 2/23 on Western Vinyl. They will be in Philly on 3/2 with a Digi [...]
The Silent Ballet reviews Efterklang 's new album "Magic chairs" , their first for big label 4AD : http://thesilentballet.com/dnn /Home/tabid/36/ctl/Details/mid /384/ItemID/3073/Default.aspx
What with the rotting bark of insufferably twee branches of "folk" and "anti-folk" (alongside any other prefix-addled genre imagined as delusional escapism from pigeonholing) falling from the trees of the softer musical persuasion and poisoning the mainstream, it's reassuring to finally stumble across the magical realms of Copenhagen's Efterklang . As endearing as Hjaltalín's soothing bassoon blasts were wafting over lyrics of Myspace misinterpretations, the hoards of contrived Twickenham tykes eclipsed any true originality, smearing suffocating fiddles over a monotonous mire of hopeless harpings on broken strings, from both hearts and guitars. Efterklang are hardly sure-fire bets to permeate [...]
