Efterklang Releases New Song “To A New Day” featuring Sønderjysk Pigekor
Danish indie rock band Efterklang, consisting of Casper Clausen (vocals), Mads Brauer (electronics) and Rasmus Stolberg (bass), released the fourth single called “To A New Day” from their upcoming album “Things We Have In Common” on July 23, 2024.
The new album is set to be released on September 27, 2024 via City Slang Records.
The band teamed up again with South Denmark Girls' Choir Sønderjysk Pigekor, as with the previous song “Animated Heart”.
The track was written by Casper Clausen, Hector Tosta, Mads Brauer, Rasmus Stolberg, and Rune Mølgaard. Produced by Efterklang.
The band lead singer Casper Clausen said of the song, “Our first gathering creating Things We Have In Common took place in a studio situated deep in the forests of Sealand's (Denmark) western region. We spent our days jamming on ideas and early song sketches, punctuated by long walks amidst the forest landscape. Each morning brought fresh inspiration, and 'To a New Day' emerged as one of these spontaneous creations. There was a pulsating energy to it, a sense of upward momentum that resonated with us. Most of the vocal melodies were crafted that particular morning, with the lyrics and structure evolving gradually.”- He continued, “The song truly came into its own when we returned to Copenhagen recording with a wonderful lineup of musicians. Hector Tosta's immediate response to the song was these beautiful decorative melodies and arrangements injected a new dimension into the track, reminiscent of orchestral Beach Boys albums. It was as if the song had been yearning for this warm, playful energy, a Venezuelan soul to breathe new life into it, unbeknownst to us.”
He added, “While compiling the final playlist for Things We Have in Common, this song kinda felt like a step away from the rest of the songs and therefore the perfect outlier to conclude the album. Many friends have remarked that 'To a New Day' embodies the quintessential Efterklang sound of the album, whatever that may entail.” -
