LIIMA (Helsinki Kuudes Linja, 31/03/16)



I'm very happy to report the Efterklang side-project ("Electroklang"?) have evolved leaps and bounds since I saw them in London last year. Back then, they were very much a band experimenting and trying to work out what exactly they wanted to achieve; now they're tighter, more focussed and more enjoyable. It's also refreshing to see a band that employ gimmickry constructively for once- a lot of their sounds come from improvised instruments, yet none of them seem indulgent or pointless. I don't think I'll ever love them as much as the 'Klang, but as successor bands go, they're not bad at all.
