Efterklang to release new album Windflowers this autumn
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 18 June 2021
Efterklang have announced that they will release a new album, titled ‘Windflowers’, this autumn. The LP will be their first for City Slang.
First single, ‘Living Other Lives’, is out now, of which vocalist Casper Clausen says: “‘Living Other Lives’ started out as a jam in my Lisbon studio during spring 2020 lockdown. I was playing around with my 404 sampler and I found that kind of groove that makes my head bop – put some samples on it and I could listen to it forever – a good sign. So I was just having that on loop while scrolling through my Instagram feed”.
“The lyrics sort of came out of that moment”, he goes on. “Living other lives, imagination jumping from one life/image to another, revisiting, updating myself, absolutely bodiless, while scrolling up and up with my thumb. It’s a fascinating world we’re living in, so strangely symbiotic and aware of what everybody’s doing, I feel I’m living multiple lives all at once. Watching all these people expressing and changing themselves far away, out there around the planet”.
‘Windflowers’ is set for release on 8 Oct. Coming up later this month, Efterklang will livestream the first show of a week-long residency on the Danish island of Møn on 27 Jun. Book tickets here.
