When I read about the Danish Dynamite Tour I was very excited. After all, Efterklang has never been to the United States and they're one of my favorite bands. On tour with Slaraffenland (translation: the land of milk and honey), another band from Denmark, my evening at Bottom of the Hill sounded like it was going to be great. The boys in Slaraffenland wore white T-shirts speckled with blue green and purple rain drops on them made out of colored tape as they belted out their songs in unison to the delight of all. The music swirled around us. Then Efterklang took the stage and blew us right out of the water. A breathtaking night of music. The tour heads east now so if you're on the other coast, check their calendar.



Here's a video:

Dawn told me this song was her "homage" to the Oakland Hills. Such a beautiful piece and the ending never ceases to leave me in awe.
