Seven years after their last album release, Efterklang make a welcome return with a fifth studio record Altid Sammen on 20th September.

 

Today, the Danish trio also announce European tour dates and share the single ‘Vi er uendelig’ with a video starring Helena Christensen.

​

In support of Altid Sammen, Efterklang will perform the album in its entirety the day after release during a sold-out headline show at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie on 21st September.  Efterklang will tour Europe throughout the year and into 2020.  A full list of dates can be

found below.  

​

For a number of Efterklang’s newly announced headline shows, including the Barbican in London, you can sign up for free or pre-order the album before 2pm BST on Wednesday 12th June to get early pre-sale access to tickets on Thursday morning.

​

Altid Sammen (meaning “always together”) is deep and sonorous, steeped in the sonic experimentation that has long been their trademark since Tripper, the Danes’ 2004 debut.

​

 As bold and ambitious in scope as their last collection of songs, Piramida, Casper Clausen (vocals), Mads Brauer (synths, electronics) and Rasmus Stolberg (bass) have taken another creative U-turn, this time fusing baroque instrumentation with their signature expansive

sound.

​

Efterklang’s last release, Piramida, centred around a ghost town in the Arctic, was a grand and all-encompassing project that spawned a movie, live album and a series of unforgettable shows (including a live debut at the Sydney Opera House).  Their final performance in Sønderborg –

the southern Danish town where the band grew up – marked a closing of a chapter, for Piramida and for Efterklang. 

​

“We needed a break from the album and touring routine, and we needed a break from Efterklang,” says Clausen. “After the Sønderborg show, things felt very exciting – and a bit scary too.  We could think freely, and move in

new directions again, just focusing on the things that excited the 3 of us.”

​

Altid Sammen album opener ‘Vi er uendelig’ (“We are infinite”) is released today digitally.  

The accompanying visuals, directed by Andreas Koefoed (behind the band’s film 

The Ghost Of Piramida), and featuring a fellow Dane, the model and

photographer Helena Christensen, are a homage to an iconic

Johnny Hallyday TV performance in 1964.
