Efterklang

A murderous MacGuffin in Efterklang’s “The Ghost” video

Efterklang: PiramidaEfterklang: Piramida (4AD, 9/25/12)

Having recorded Piramida in a ghost town, its perhaps unsurprising that one of the tracks on Efterklang‘s fourth album was entitled “The Ghost.” A droning composition with bells, brass, and an echoing percussive background, it’s reminiscent of some of the more ambient work of groups like Underworld and Radiohead, which is to say that it’s unique and beautiful.
