Efterklang

With their dazzling and sumptuous brand of cosmic orchestral rock and playful experimental pop, this Danish group should appeal to fans of Animal Collective, Sufjan Stevens, Björk and Yeasayer alike. They're here to play from their new album 'Piramida', which came out last year. Based on nine days the band spent in an abandoned Russian mining settlement in the Arctic Circle, it's an album humming with ghost-town ambience which (fortunately) has the songs to match the story.
