Efterklang takes stage at Salon

Efterklang, Danish indie rock band formed in 2001, notably across three acclaimed albums, 2004’s Tripper, 2007’s Parades and 2010’s Magic Chairs, takes the stage at Salon. They have each explored different directions, each an end product of remarkably studied song craft and emotional resonance. But Piramida (2012) is perhaps the band’s greatest achievement: an album bringing the outside in, informed by frozen time and the relics humanity leaves in its expanding wake. Over nine days, Efterklang accumulated over a thousand field recordings from the many and varied environments they encountered such as a forgotten settlement called Piramida, slowly dying, on Spitsbergen, an island midway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole. Along with the new album Efterklang has also launched “The Piramida Concerts” which premiered in a unique concert with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Sydney Opera House. In total the band played 16 of these orchestral concerts in connection with the release of the Piramida album. Tickets: Standing 45 TL Student 25 TL
