AN ISLAND | EFTERKLANG

oh, this is going to be so good!

in august 2010, french filmmaker vincent moon and efterklang's 8 piece-live band met up on an island in the danish country side. the objective was to shoot a film. a film with the same length as an album, and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations.


they will screen an island at their concerts in february and march 2011.

FOLLOW | CRYSTAL FIGHTERS

i can't get this song out of my head. crystal fighters are originally from the basque region but are now based in - where else? - east london. they wrap up their style pretty good: "we make fast dance music with basque instruments, synthesisers and our voices". and their weirdo stop motion video for follow creeps me out and cheers me up at the same time. i like it!

MT. DESOLATION | MT. DESOLATION

i never particularly liked keane or rather i never bothered making my mind up about them at all. so two keane members starting a side project didn't strike me as that exciting. i got interested when i read that the line-up of this thing included members of the killers, noah and the whale and mumford and sons. and i'm glad i did, because the selftitled debut record of mt. desolation definitely turned out to be worth a listen or two. it's the product of some talented people making country music in their spare time. as it says in the official biography "without any motive other than just doing what they loved" mt. desolation isn't earth shattering, but a nice record to listen to and enjoy.
