Leaf Label announces Efterklang reissues
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 14 July 2010
The Leaf Label has announced that it will reissue Efterklang’s first two albums – ‘Tripper’ and ‘Parades’ – complete with new deluxe packaging and the albums’ accompanying EPs – ‘Springer’ and ‘Under Giant Trees’ – as bonus discs.
‘Springer’ was originally self-released by the band in 2003, limited to 500 copies with handmade fake fur covers. The band then signed to The Leaf Label while recording their debut album, ‘Tripper’, that same year.
The follow-up, ‘Parades’, was released in 2007 and receive high acclaim, though the band admit that it was “a complicated album to make” which still remains “a mystery” to them. Its release was preceded by the ‘Under Giant Trees’ EP, which had been written in 2005, but was eventually recorded to give the band a break from working on ‘Parades’.
The band signed a new deal with 4AD last year to release their third album, ‘Magic Chair’. However, they maintain close links with The Leaf Label, sticking with them to release a live recording of ‘Parades’ recorded with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra.
The reissued albums will both be released on 23 Aug. While you wait for them, why not have a listen to this playlist put together for us by Efterklang frontman Casper Clausen: www.completemusicupdate.com/playlists/efterklang.html
