Efterklang

Here's a lovely little video from Danish atmospheric quartet, Efterklang. Mr. Peter Broderick has a pretty extensive and impressive body of work under both his own name and with Efterklang. This video reveals the quartets tendencies towards pastoral folk and sweeping atmospherics through both the visual imagery and lush string arrangements. I like the juxtaposition of pounding percussion, pop vocals, and bouncing piano tones alongside those other elements. The net result is chamber pop any fan of the genre can get behind.

The video is inspired by the Danish film, The Deer Garden, and was directed by the daughter of the original film's co-director.

Danish film + patriarchal artistic homage + orchestral/pastoral Scandanavian music = A good day at the Grocerystowe
