Add date: March 9
Artist: Efterklang
Album: Magic Chairs
Label: 4AD
Genre: Scandinavian Indie-pop
Efterklang’s newest album can only be described as the younger sibling of Shout Out Loud’s most recent CD Work. You know the type- softly sung vocals like Grizzly Bear plus semi-ambient chamber pop. Oh, and they’re both Scandinavian. Opener “Modern Drift” is a delicate song of rumbling drums and violin swoons, while “Raincoat” is a vaguely tribal track driven by its staccato drumbeat, claps, and beautiful little guitar riff that is reminiscent of early Talking Heads- one that won’t leave your head. (Not all tracks are so stunning- “Harmonics” is a blatant Dirty Projectors ripoff. There will only be one "Stillness is the Move"). A bit too unfinished at time, Magic Chairs is still a feat of indie pop that shouldn’t be ignored.
