Things We Have In Common: Sky Blue Vinyl LP

Danish band Efterklang returns with their seventh studio album ‘Things We Have In Common, set for release on September 27th via City Slang.

An album about friendship, belonging, faith and understanding, themes which are palpable in the music, which is gentle and uplifting, healing and rousing.

Efterklang has become an open community with three permanent members: Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg. On this album the core trio re-connected with their old friend and founding Efterklang member Rune Mlgaard who left the band in 2007 to join the mormon church, and ultimately withdrew from the church in 2022. His profound spiritual journey significantly influences the album’s content and tone, on which he has co-written seven of the nine songs.

‘Things We Have In Common’ coincides with the 20th anniversary of the bands debut album, and presents 2 decades of collaboration, exploration, evolution and reconnection.

The album features contributions from a variety of international musicians. Zach Condon of Beirut, Finnish drummer Tatu Rnkk, Venezuelan guitarist Hector Tosta and Guatemalan cellist and singer Mabe Fratti all became key collaborators. Italian award- winning mixer Francesco Donadello and South Denmark Girls Choir both left their indelible mark on the record, as their did with the bands 2012 album Piramida.
