The album, whose title translates to “always together,” arrives seven years after their previous album, Piramida. Tomorrow, Efterklang will debut Altid Sammen in its entirety in the concert hall of the Elbphilharmonie during the Reeperbahn Festival. All 2,100 seats for the concert are sold out, but the performance will be livestreamed at 9:30pm UK time here: https://efterklang.ffm.to/reeperbahnlivestream.

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.

“Altid Sammen’s songs are about belief and togetherness,” Clausen 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.”

Efterklang’s live shows have always been ambitious affairs and their Altid Sammen tour will be just as elaborate. Recently added to Le Guess Who? Festival’s line-up, the trio – with their 7-piece band – will perform in the TivoliVredenburg concert hall and have also confirmed two Mexico appearances in late November.
