Efterklang - An island

I must admit the last Efterklang album, Magic chairs, didn't float my boat as much as their previous material. However, the prospect of the band teaming up with Vincent Moon (La Blogotheque) to make a film based on the music of that album, using Danish locations they grew up in, is an enticing one. Here are some trailers from the movie.

Furthermore, this film is being distributed in an unusual way. You can contact the band if you want to arrange a screening in your part of the world. You'll find all the details below. What a great idea and worth getting behind.

Best of 2014 - Part 4: Jazz/Chamber/Orchestral/Wonky/Ambient/Minimalist

Image
And so the final part of this journey back through 2014. I've titled this bunch in favour of the Orchestral/Jazz end of the pop spectrum but there are certainly a few refugees from Dream Pop, Folk, maybe even Soul (and one showtune). Who's counting though. There are also a good number of Electronic pieces in here as promised, but more of minimalist, downtempo and/or industrial leanings. Mood wise, I think this set hangs together pretty well. Whatever, there's a lot of great music in here for sure. Just as a reminder, here are the other three parts of my 2014 Review. http://www.theundergroundofhappiness.blogspot.ie/2014/12/best-of-2014-part-1-folkrootscountry.html http://www.theundergroundofhappiness.blogspot.ie/2014/12/best-of-2014-part-2-soulpopjangleelectr.html http://www.theundergroundofhappiness.blogspot.ie/2015/01/best-of-2014-part-3-psychkrautrockpunkb.html 1.
