An [[Alternative Rock]] band from Copenhagen, [[Useful Notes/Denmark|Denmark]]. Less generally, they have elements of [[Baroque Pop]], [[Dream Pop]], [[Electronic Music]], folk, [[Post Rock|post-rock]] and ([[New Sound Album|with their newest album]]) indie pop. It consists of Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen, Thomas Husmer, Rasmus Stolberg and (until 2007 he was part of the original line-up but [[Demoted to Extra|now only performs with them sometimes]]) Rune Mølgaard. They are probably best known for their song ''Mirador'' (the [[Animated Music Video]] of which has over a million views on [[YouTube]]) and their recent free single ''Modern Drift''.

== Tropes: ==
* [[Ambient]]: All of their work pre-''Parades'' had elements of this, even on ''Parades'' the song ''Illuminant'' still qualifies. ''Foetus'', ''Doppelgänger'' and ''Tortuous Tracks'' are good examples from ''Tripper'', ''Antitech'' and ''Filmosonic XL'' are good examples from the ''Springer'' EP and ''Hands Playing Butterfly'' is a good example from the ''Under Giant Trees'' EP.
* [[Adorkable]]: Casper Clausen. Witness his dancing in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z5ml_v-8LU this video] of Efterklang performing ''Step Aside'' live.
* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: "Efterklang" means remembrance or reverberation (literally, it means "after sound"). They actually got the name from one of their electronic musician friends who was using [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation |the latter definition of "Efterklang"]] to explain the technical concept.
* [[Animated Music Video]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1mVSTnzxBs Illuminant,]'' ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSKIl-NeZeE Mirador]'' and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODT4sZrlNMw Polygyne.]''
* [[Deranged Animation]]: The ''Illuminant'' and ''Mirador'' videos.
Line 35:
* [[Epic Instrumental Opener]]: ''Polygyne'', among other songs.
* [[Epic Rocking]]: Naturally for a post-rock band. ''Kloy Gyn'' is their longest song at 8:01 minutes.
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: Before ''Magic Chairs'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20160402062703/http://efterklang.net/home/2007/04/02/under-giants-trees-released-today/#comment-2081 this was intentional.]
* [[Last-Note Nightmare]]: ''Full Moon'' has a synthesized note that comes out of nowhere and greatly increases in volume during the last eleven seconds of the song, when it has seemingly finished. [[Mood Whiplash|This immediately segues]] into ''The Soft Beating'', one of Efterklang's happiest songs.
* [[Lonely Piano Piece]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pilzqHDjH8g Mimeo]''
Line 45:
* [[Perishing Alt Rock Voice]]: Casper Clausen
* [[Porn Stache]]: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/efterklang-recordings/4859768883/ Rasmus Stolberg]
* [[Shout -Out]]: The ''Mirador'' video has one to [[MCM. C. Escher]]'s ''[[Alien Geometries|Relativity]]''.
* [[Soprano and Gravel]]: ''Collecting Shields''
* [[Stop Motion]]: The ''Illuminant'' music video.
