Video: Efterklang + Vincent Moon – An Island

“Three months ago in August we met up with our friend and French filmmaker Vincent Moon on an island in the Danish country side. The objective was to shoot a film. A film with the same length as an album and a film full of performances, experiments and collaborations.

We were there with our 8-piece live band featuring Niklas Antonson(Slaraffenland), Heather BroderickPeter Broderick and Frederik Teige. Over an intense period of 4 days we managed to collaborate with more than 200 local musicians, kids and parents.”
