Efterklang have shared ‘To a New Day’, the fourth single to be taken from new album ‘Things We Have in Common’ (released via City Slang on 27 September).
Collaborating with talented musicians including vocalists Rune Mølgaard and Sønderjysk Pigekor plus Hector Tosta (additional arrangement, guitar, percussion), Jarrett Gilgore (alto sax), Mabe Fratti (cello), Damian Dalla Torre (bass clarinet, tenor sax), Christian Balvig (piano, Rhodes, vibraphone), Tatu Rönkkö (drums, percussion), Nils Gröndahl (violin) and Francesco Donadello (mix), the song is a stirring celebration of life that the band say is ‘reminiscent of orchestral Beach Boys albums’.
Opening with some lines about memories coming together and glowing over a sparkly and baroque-inspired soundtrack, the band – and choir – are in joyful, tender mood as they look back on ‘all I ever was’ and discuss how ‘like dreams in the night, it’s now or forever. We are born to the Earth, giving birth to a new day’.
