Efterklang a recent discovery for me,the name is apparently Danish for "remembrance" or "reverberation".Their 3rd LP starts possibly at its peak with “Modern drift” which builds from a rippling modern classical piano and lone voice (Casper Clausen) adding along the way drums more keyboards, strings and brass.Like many of the tracks guitars aren’t to the fore. The way the driving beautiful urgency of “Modern drift” is punctured by strings is most striking. Strings and brass are at times used almost like a second percussion section. The music has strong dynamics with brass etc stopping to allow vocals to stand out. Male /female harmonies are also used to add to the texture sometimes in the form of urgent chants.The music owes a lot to electronic music but made on real instruments and also to the raga infused and repetitive music championed by Steve Reich, Terry Reilly etc. Stand out tracks “Harmonics”, “the soft beating” and the intimate final duet “natural tune”
