Thorvaldsens Efterklang

foto: Brian Buchard

The album cover for the new Efterklang Album, Magic Chairs, is a poetic music shot and brilliant architecture photo at the same time. The way it uses M. G. B. Bindesbølls Thorvaldsens Museum as the settings for a "ephemeral fairytale" happening on a rainy Copenhagen day is completely in the SPS spirit.
Buchards photo adds a new layer to the museum that is worth as much as any installation - a story you'll have in mind every time you visit the museum and look into the empty atrium.
On the back of the cover you will see all the multicolored pennants lying on the ground as a result of this sudden phenomena. In case you don't flip the LP you might believe that these light weight patterns will gone in a few seconds leaving no traces at all, but imprints the trajectories in your memory. What are the chances to ever experience this? Small i suppose, but as you examine the photo you'll see that this phenomena was exactly what the guys from Efterklang saw when they went to Thorvaldsens.

"Ephemeral Fairy Tailstructures or Two days with a kite"





Is it because we want to fly?
Is it because we just want spend some time together playing at the beach?
Is it an attempt to create a structure only visble through the lens and photoshop?

“Ephemeral Fairy Tailstructures or Two days with a kite”
is an attempt to do all three things at the same time.
