Danish Art-Pop Act Efterklang Share Dreamy New Single “Dragonfly” From Upcoming Album

Danish art-pop trio Efterklang have shared a new single and video from their forthcoming album, Windflowers, which is set for release on October 8th through City Slang. Now into their second decade as a band, they have become well-versed in pushing the barriers of experimental, electronic, and chamber-pop, and the trio of Mads Brauer, Rasmus Stolberg, and Casper Clausen continue to fuse together sounds on “Dragonfly”.

Following the previous single, “Living Other Lives”, the latest cut “Dragonfly” explores the ephemeral nature of love. Channelling the album’s motifs of hope and change, “Dragonfly” celebrates the idea of love’s intangible and often fleeting existence. Building off the metaphor of dragonflies, a fascination for vocalist Casper Clausen, the insect’s constant movement, barely resting becomes a symbol for the difficulty of knowing where love will land.

The accompanying video was directed by Søren Lynggaard Andersen, who also created the video for “Living Other Lives”. Efterklang’s Rasmus Stolberg says of the video, “it features the three of us alongside our live-band members Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė, Bert Cools, Øyunn and Christian Balvig who all have contributed significantly to the making of our new album. It was Indre who had the idea of featuring kite flying in the video and shortly after we found a box of abandoned white clothes and then it sort of rolled organically from there. We were all on Møn for Efterklang’s Sommertræf (Efterklang’s Summer Summit) and took the afternoon and evening off to fly kites, swim and run around and dance silly and un-choreographed in Danish corn fields. It was a beautiful moment with people we love dearly and I am so thankful it’s been captured so stunning and vibrantly by Søren.”
