SFSH – Festival Finale hosted by Efterklang

We all have witnesses to our journey through life. Family, friends, partners or colleagues who have followed us on our way. Many of them don’t want us to change. They want us to stay the same forever, to maintain the same old position that we have always had in our community. That’s not the case for Efterklang. The Danish trio has always been an open family, with room for new ideas, radical shifts and changing collaborators. A band in flux.

With their new, seventh studio album Things We Have In Common, a circle closes. The process began with Altid Sammen, the band’s fifth album, and continued with their sixth, 2021’s Windflowers. For Efterklang, these albums represented an opening up towards a simpler, more inclusive, means of expression. It feels like the band has let go: harmonic tensions are gentler, the tonal language more straightforward. Altid Sammen explored the human community; Windflowers examined the relationship between human beings and nature. And Things We Have In Common is about collective spirituality and belonging.

There is a generosity at play on this record. This is music open to longing souls and aching beings, offering the possibility of both enlightenment and relief. This is music of arms reaching out and healing hands. The sound of giving, receiving and accepting that everything changes.

“We took part in the People/37d03d residency in Berlin 2018 and we’ve played SFSH in 2019 – both times feeling we were part of something very special and life changing in fact! We are humbled and excited to be hosting the finale this year!”

Efterklang has become an open community with three permanent members: Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg. Pianist and composer Rune Mølgaard left Efterklang after the Parades album in 2007 but he has circled around the band, to varying degrees, since then. On the new album, he has co-written seven of the nine songs.
