[2][3] Their second album Parades saw the band working with British producer Darren Allison (Spiritualized),[4] and was released in October 2007, receiving widespread critical acclaim by the likes of Mojo,[5] Uncut,[6] Drowned in Sound[7] and Stylus magazine.
In August 2010, French filmmaker Vincent Moon and Efterklang's 8-piece live band met up on an island off the Danish coast.
[12] In 2012, the band went on tour to present their fourth album Piramida with an orchestra and drummer Budgie of Siouxsie and the Banshees as special guest for the live shows.
[14] The latter wrote : "Piramida is the sound of Efterklang’s grasp meeting their reach, of their ambition evading the pretentious, the blankly grandiose, and rewarding them with a masterpiece.".
Mojo rated it four stars and said: "Despite the elegant grey-sky thinking, deep beneath the emotional permafrost, Piramida isn't as cold as it seems".
[16] BBC Music said : "This see-saw, between exquisite gloom and bruised hope, is part of what makes Piramida so powerful" before concluding by these words, "rarely have the Serious Young Man Blues been articulated with such grace, so affectingly".
[17] British Fact magazine wrote: "Piramida is an abandoned mining town located deep within the Arctic Circle.
It’s the setting for Efterklang’s fourth and finest album, an acutely musicianly affair employing lorry loads of classical instruments, brass, synths and what appears to be a choir of thousands broadcasting from the deep end of a fjord".
A poll enabled fans to vote for which albums from the label's back catalogue they wished to see re-issued,[21] and Efterklang's Parades was selected.
They have also produced a vast number of artistic music videos by filmmakers such as Karim Ghahwagi, Tobias Stretch, Anders Morgenthaler, Carolina Melis, and Jeremiah Zagar.
