Efterklang have released their fifth studio album ​'Altid Sammen​', their first release in their native Danish.  The album, whose title translates to “always together,” arrives seven years after their previousalbum,​ Piramida​.  Efterklang will debut 'A​ltid Sammen' ​in its entirety in the concert hall of the Elbphilharmonie during Reeperbahn Festival.  All 2100 seats for the concert are sold out, but the performance will be livestreamed at 5:30pm ET; tune in here.

Deep and sonorous, ​'Altid Sammen' is steeped in the sonic experimentation that has long been their trademark since ​Tripper​, the Danes’ 2004 debut.  As bold and ambitious in scope as their last collection of songs, ​Piramida​, Casper Clausen (vocals), Mads Brauer (synths, electronics) and Rasmus Stolberg (bass) have taken another creative U-turn, this time fusing baroque instrumentation with their signature expansive sound.

“A​ltid Sammen​’s songs are about belief and togetherness,” C​lausen says.  “Not in a religious way – none of us are believers of a defined religion. The words are searching for meaning in intimate relationships, in nature, in death and eternity.  The bonds we create; to gather, hold hands, sing or share a moment together.  We’re all connected, across nations, age, sex and gender.  We come together with all of our backgrounds, and we move apart in all sorts of directions, always together.”
