Parades + Under Giant Trees Music CD

Double CD reissue of the Under Giant Trees EP (2007), plus the album Parades (2007) which followed it. Also includes two bonus live tracks. Packaged in a deluxe fold-out CD package with 16-page booklet and sleevenotes written by the band. Parades was the second album by Denmarks Efterklang, the follow up to their underground hit of 2004, Tripper. Comprising 11 majestic, otherworldly pop songs, Parades manages to be both magnificently ambitious and engagingly intimate; a breathtaking panorama of sound with few clear antecedents. Music with no boundaries. In a parallel universe, songs like Mirador and Caravan would be number one forever& Though the music that became Parades was recorded concurrently with the critically acclaimed Under Giant Trees mini-album that preceded it, the latter was essentially a summation of songs the band had pieced together on tour in 2005. Parades is cut from a different cloth: this is all new material spun from raw ingredients, carefully stitched and lovingly embroidered with fine detail. If you let yourself be enveloped, this living tapestry could take years to unpick.
