4AD Sessions: Efterklang



Efterklang's 'Magic Chairs' is the Copenhagen-based outfit's debut record for 4AD and third full-length in total. With the likes of 'Modern Drift', with its intricate and looping arpeggios, and 'I Was Playing Drums', arguably the band's most accessible pop song to date, it is an album that is a bold as it is bewitching.

They shot the videos in VEGA, their favourite venue in Copenhagen with a small room called Lille VEGA and a bigger called Store VEGA. They wanted to document their live band, and unlike the very popular intimate and acoustic sessions they do so often these days, they wanted to play live for full power.

That's the concept - the session gives you Efterklang as they would perform live on a stage, not Efterklang performing live with an acoustic guitar and two spoons.

They wanted to shoot without an audience and therefore the idea about the circle was very appealing. as they could play for each other and together, like in their rehearsal space, but much much better and in a more beautiful space!"
