Zürich - Stall 6
Somehow this one slipped under my radar, but here is a late breaking preview for Efterklang’s upcoming gig at Stall 6 in Zürich. The Danish indie rock group often stirs up comparison to the organic orchestral tunes of Sigur Ros, however their latest release Magic Chairs (4AD – 2010) leans more towards Arcade Fire-ish pop. While a little less bold than their previous release, Parades (The Leaf Label – 2007) it still maintains the dramatic melodies that ensnare you into the thick layers of horns and strings. As a bonus, the concert includes a screening of a new film featuring Efterklang titled, An Island, directed and shot by Vincent Moon. I have been following the French filmmaker for several years through his contributions to the incredible music video blog La Blogotheque. He is known for his (often copied) “take-away show” style, which feature unplugged single-take live performances that manage to capture a more honest portrayal of musicians and their music. A wonderful example of both Efterklang and Vincent Moon is in the trailer below.
