Performing Parades
RUM022
Artist: Efterklang & The Danish National Chamber Orchestra
Label: Rumraket
The inimitable Danish outfit Efterklang announce the release of Performing Parades, their most ambitious project yet. A limited edition deluxe gatefold CD+DVD and LP+DVD package, it features Efterklang performing their acclaimed 2007 album Parades in full, accompanied by The Danish National Chamber Orchestra, in their hometown of Copenhagen. A sweepingly majestic affair, the performance takes Efterklang’s sumptuous, otherworldly pop songs to new heights of heart-bursting joy and wonder.
Shortly after the release of Parades, Karl Bjerre Skibsted from DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) approached Efterklang with a proposal to work with The Danish National Chamber Orchestra. Efterklang leapt at the opportunity. From the off, the intention was to unite the two groups as a single musical unit: 50 musicians on stage in full Efterklang regalia. Composer and arranger Karsten Fundal was invited to write orchestral arrangements for the songs, and after ten months of preparation, the first performance took place on September 26 2008 at DR´s brand new Koncerthuset in Copenhagen in front of a capacity audience. The show was recorded for posterity in sound and on film.
The original Parades album recording involved more than 30 guest musicians, including a string quartet, a brass quintet and three separate choirs. On Performing Parades the music is brought to life in new arrangements in a way that is both dazzling and profoundly moving. Or, as Mojo described the performance in t...

Meet and Greet is the first single from the upcoming third album by Slaraffenland and it is a perfect song and title for introducing a new chapter in the ever-growing history of the Copenhagen based band.
The b-side of the single is My Bad Ways, which is a very powerful outtake from the album recordings that took place in the studio Mexico City with the successful Danish producer Fridolin.
September the 7th 2009 the entire album will be released. The title is We´re On Your Side and it will be released simultaneously in Europe and USA (via Hometapes). It is without doubt the best and most accessible album by Slaraffenland yet. Rumraket looks forward to make this album available so everybody can fall in love.
Someone who already fell in love is the famed French video artist Vincent Moon. You know him from the many Blogotheque/TakeAwayShows.com videos and his work with bands like Arcade Fire, Beirut, The National and R.E.M. He has been following Slaraffenland for the last two years and for the album release this will culminate with a big collaboration between Slaraffenland and Vincent Moon. More details of this project can be revealed soon.

With the Step Out Into The Light EP Taxi Taxi! finally returns after their successful debut EP release in 2007. This new digital only EP is a foretaste to their debut album that will be released in the fall of 2009.
The two twin sisters from Stockholm graduated from high School a year ago and are still in their teens, but more than ever is their musical output as mature and on the same level as the international artists they so often are compared to. This EP and the coming album are both tastefully and gently produced by Johan Berthling (Tape, Häpna Records).
More Childish Than In A Long Time starts the EP and this song will also be present on the coming album. The two other tracks are exclusively only available on this release.
The third song on the EP is a cover of the Taxi Taxi! song Belle by the American artist Peter Broderick. Besides being a friend and fan of Taxi Taxi! Peter Broderick has released acclaimed albums on Type, Bella Union, Kning Disk and Erased Tapes
This particulary Taxi Taxi EP is released on Rumraket in collaboration with our good friends and colleagues from Tigerspring.
