The musical trademark of Danish trio Efterklang is a tapestry of acoustic and electronic elements. The group will release their new album 'Altid Sammen' on September 20th via 4AD; now, they share the third single from the album, titled 'Uden Ansigt'.

'Altid Sammen's songs are about belief and togetherness,' frontman Casper Clausen said in a statement. 'Not in a religious way—none of us are believers of a defined religion. The words are searching for meaning in intimate relationships, in nature, in death and eternity.' Watch the lyric video for 'Uden Ansigt' below.

“We needed a break from the album and touring routine, and we needed a break from Efterklang,We had the urge to create a sort of ritual for ourselves, everybody we had been working with over a span of 10 years, all the fans we met along our way, and our family back on our home island. To close a chapter and a begin a new one, to clear the table and challenge our friendship. After the show, things felt very exciting – and a bit scary too. We could think freely, and move in new directions again, just focusing on the things that excited the 3 of us.” - Casper Clausen

Efterklang will perform at Le Guess Who? 2019 on Thursday, 7 November, as part of Iris van Herpen & Salvador Breed's curated program. Also performing at the festival are a.o.
