efterklang - again!

it's raining outside. almost the middle of july. a quiet evening becoming early morning. this is my five hundredth post. i cannot believe that i have written that much but it's a lot of fun finding ideas and researching them and then sharing them. so i think i'll keep on doing what i'm doing.

tonight's post is unique because i first posted about efterklang back in february and here they are again - a golden fish first - two posts about the same thing!! but they’re so worth it! when i listen to efterklang i hear so many things and so many people and one of the groups i hear more and more inside the totally unique efterklang sound is popol vuh. another is cluster. it’s something about the organic melding of drifting vocal harmonies, the seamless integration of acoustic instruments, and hovering like snow and hail and rain the lovely skittering glitch dreams . . . but rather than pin them like a butterfly to the wall of musical history, let’s let their music describe itself . . . .

here’s a video called “bright” . . .
and another from efterklang called “prey and predator” . . .

to view more efterklang videos then you should wander over to last fm and sneak a peek at the riches contained therein!
