Live-Trips

This is spot on! The text really captures the impact and influence of Future Islands' album "Singles" and their hit "Seasons (Waiting On You)". It's fascinating to see how a single song and a viral live performance – especially Samuel T. Herring's appearance on David Letterman – can skyrocket a band. That performance was truly a game-changer because it perfectly encapsulated the raw energy and emotional depth that defines Future Islands. Herring's unique vocal style and intense stage movements immediately captivated the audience, earning them a massive new fanbase. The text also highlights how "Singles" as an album managed to capture the band's "full force." This suggests that the album didn't just deliver hit singles, but also, as a complete work, reflected the essence of Future Islands – that blend of melancholy, hope, and that very special emotional intensity. It's a great example of how authenticity and a unique artistic vision can ultimately lead to success.

Live performances often feature additional musicians such as Peter Broderick (piano, guitar, violin), Tatu Rönkkö (drums), Katinka Fogh Vindelev (piano, vocals) or even entire symphony orchestras. For over two decades, they have been delighting audiences with a mixture of electronic, classical and experimental elements. In 2025, Efterklang are back on tour to present their seventh studio album Things We Have In Common. The tour will take them to various European cities, including Budapest, Zagreb, Bucharest and Belgrade. Their concerts are characterized by a warm, communal atmosphere. The band interacts intensively with the audience, which makes their performances unforgettable experiences. A particular highlight is the song “To A New Day”, which inspires with its choral arrangement and psychedelic spirituality.

With this single, we can feel the intensity of the clubs and sleepless nights, the strobes and disco balls that are forever imprinted in our bodies and minds. The shimmer of the French touch that lit up the world of pop and electro with virtuosity and elegance and made L'Impératrice dance in her youth. It is this glow that today carries the sound of L'Impératrice like a momentum of its own. A sweet thing. Perhaps too sweet for some.

But with their shimmering reverb guitars, the blurred vocals and the thin skeleton of the rhythm machine, they do little to hide their love for the first hour shoegazers. The KVB have released several albums on the label of Anton Newcombs, the singer of Brian Jonestown Massacre, another shadowy figure in rock music. The fact that Geoff Barrow from Portishead was kind enough to lend them some of his synthesizers and Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3 did the mastering are just a few more chocolates for indie rock fans who also read the small print. None of this should deter anyone from giving The KVB an unbiased listen. Last year, they released the album “Artefacts” - a fitting title, as this is what the Berliners-by-choice can do without batting an eyelid: create something new from found objects from rock history
