New Single: 'Getting Reminders'

Efterklang share new single & video "Getting Reminders" ft. Beirut's Zach Condon!

They release new documentary 'Efterklang: The Makedonium Band' on March 23rd! ⁠

Today Efterklang return with their first new music since 2021, kicking off their next sonic chapter with “Getting Reminders”, a new single featuring Beirut’s Zach Condon on trumpet. The track is released alongside a new documentary 'Efterklang: The Makedonium Band' and the announcement of an extensive European tour that will be celebrating forthcoming new music, as well as the band's 20th anniversary.

“Getting Reminders” unfolds as as an intimate piece, with Casper Clausen's vocals and acoustic guitar taking the lead. It’s an exciting new sound for the ever-evolving band. Zach Condon’s trumpet beautifully contributes to the warm and captivating sonic tapestry.

"To me, “Getting Reminders” is a flash of light, a domino effect of feelings from a simple reminder, like a photo, a word, or when we encounter love, that suddenly sets our minds free" explains Casper. "In reality, I feel a dark and highly politicised force tearing us apart, across land and culture. I feel like reminding myself that there’s a landscape that lives beyond and between us all, where we are free to cross and meet one another.”

The accompanying video creatively brings still photos from North Macedonia to life and was directed by Søren Lynggaard and Efterklang’s Casper Clausen.

The single “Getting Reminders” coincides with new documentary by award-winning director Andreas Johnsen which follows the band as they spend a week in North Macedonia, assembling a group of local musicians to create a performance in front of the architecturally notable independence monument, Makedonium. A charming tour of the Macedonian music world and a fascinating insight into the creative process of the ever-exploring band, 'Efterklang: The Makedonium Band’ is currently having its world premiere screenings at the prestigious CPH:DOX film festival in Copenhagen, and will continue to be shown at film festivals across the world throughout this year.
