Much like the sound of Mum, Efterklang’s “Towards the Bare Hill” is filled with forlorn percussive enchantments accompanied by moody accordian moans. Unlike Mum, however, the chorus here is a booming masculine one, like that of sailors. Meanwhile, 1-20 of their numbered 1200 vinyl copies of Under the Trees were stolen during production, so they are offering 10 remaining ones of personal copies on ebay. These will be labeled by the following Danish letters: d, i, j, q, u, w, x, z, ø and å, and proceeds will be put towards a fund to purchase a piece of an untouched rainforest in order to preserve it. The EP comes out in the US on May 7.
