Hello there. Efterklang & The Danish National Chamber Orchestra? Well up for a bit o’ that.
Yep, count me in too!
emmm… Hello.
In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
Sounds good Nialler.

Hullo!
It would have been nice if I won the lotto tonight. But I didn’t. So it’d be also be nice if I could win the Leaf Label’s latest compilation.
I managed to pick up a press copy of Nancy Elizabeth’s first album when I was writing for my college paper last year. One of the best random discoveries I’ve ever had. Unfortunately can’t say the same for Wildbirds and Peacedrums which I found in the same pile, though I love the album art. Aside from WaP Leaf are a great label so stick me down!
PS. Paul, always dig a good Third Man reference.
