I want to go to there.
Those nice Danish chaps Efterklang have announced they will release a new album on 22nd February 2010 through 4AD. It’ll be called Magic Chairs and you can see a full tracklisting here. The artwork is by Hvass and Hannibal who designed the brilliant sleeves for previous albums, Parades and the artwork for the Modern Drift single.
They’ve also debuted ‘Modern Drift’, the first song from the new album which showcases a different sound for them. Listen to it after the jump.

I love Efterklang but think that track is awful….looks like it’s a concerted effort to go mainstream but I’m not sure if it’s one that’s going to work…
sounds like coldplay…and it dosent get lower then coldplay
its a sham triper was a masterpiece
If its as good as the artwork it’ll be quite something.
Really looking forward to these guys touring. The UK tour dates are up here http://bit.ly/5ZhBrP
Picked up the album on Saturday in Tower on the back of the song which you have here (Paul McLoone played it during the week) and while I agree there are similarities to Coldplay I choose to look beyond that. The rest of the album is a little patchy but it may be a grower. Maybe those who dismissed it in November should give it another chance….
