Pitchfork

Self-proclaimed "friendly & nice people from Copenhagen" Efterklang will gently release their second album, Parades, worldwide on October 15. The follow-up to 2004 debut full-length Tripper and a number of EPs, Parades will come out in Denmark on Efterklang's own Rumraket label and elsewhere on the Leaf Label.

Their Friendlinesses will then get reacquainted with fans on a European tour that kicks off in Le Havre, France on October 16, just a few days after a Parades release show in Copenhagen. It's the band's first tour in almost two years, and they hope to extend it into 2008 and include shows in the U.S. and possibly Asia. Customs folks tend not to bother friendly and nice people too much, so we don't imagine either of those destinations will give the band much trouble.
