Efterklang / エフタークラング - Magic Chairs / マジック・チェアーズ

デンマークのインディ・ロック・バンド、エフタークラングの約3年ぶりとなるサード・アルバム。名門レーベル 4AD 移籍第一弾リリース。

During brief breaks from touring in early 2009, the four core members of Efterklang began to develop song sketches into more elaborate arrangements in Tel Aviv and Portland with help from members of their seven-piece live band. Taking these songs with them on the road and testing them out on their US tour allowed the band the luxury to fine-tune and hone each new track before returning to Denmark in the spring to begin the task of recording. Engineer-producer Gareth Jones (Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Wire) was drafted in to mix Magic Chairs in London, another first for the band (Mads Bauer usually oversees the mixing process for Efterklang).
