Things We Have in Common

With their new, seventh studio album “Things We Have In Common,” a circle closes. The process began with “Altid Sammen”, the band’s fifth album, and continued with their sixth, 2021’s “Windflowers.” For Efterklang, these albums represented an opening up towards a simpler, more inclusive, means of expression. It feels like the band has let go: harmonic tensions are gentler, the tonal language more straightforward. “Altid Sammen” explored human community; “Windflowers” examined the relationship between human beings and nature. And “Things We Have In Common” is about collective spirituality and belonging.
