Efterklang unveil new single, "Getting Reminders" alongside a documentary
Efterklang have returned with their first new music since 2021, kicking off their next chapter with “Getting Reminders”, a new single featuring Beirut’s Zach Condon on trumpet.
The track is released alongside a new documentary Efterklang: The Makedonium Band, and news of a special show at London’s Barbican on 5 October to celebrate forthcoming new music, as well as the band's 20th anniversary.
"To me, ‘Getting Reminders’ is a flash of light, a domino effect of feelings from a simple reminder, like a photo, a word, or when we encounter love, that suddenly sets our minds free" explains Casper Clausen. "In reality, I feel a dark and highly politicised force tearing us apart, across land and culture. I feel like reminding myself that there’s a landscape that lives beyond and between us all, where we are free to cross and meet one another.”
The single "Getting Reminders" coincides with new documentary by award-winning director Andreas Johnsen which follows the band as they spend a week in North Macedonia, assembling a group of local musicians to create a performance in front of the architecturally notable independence monument, Makedonium.
Efterklang: The Makedonium Band is currently having its world premiere screenings at the prestigious CPH:DOX film festival in Copenhagen, and will continue to be shown at film festivals across the world throughout this year.
"Getting Reminders" is out now. For more information on forthcoming live dates, visit efterklang.net.
