What their label says...

*Copenhagen's Efterklang make a welcome return with a magical re-introduction
to their sound - Under Giant Trees, a limited edition five-track mini-album in
deluxe packaging.
*Returning to Copenhagen at the close of 2005, Efterklang's five core members
set to work recording the foundations of these new songs, with a view to this
stand-alone release.
*Extra vocals, brass and strings were added, with Edda and Hildur from Sigur
Ros' Amiina Quartet recording further violin parts.
*The results are mesmerising - at once vibrant, otherworldly, poignant and
panoramic. Efterklang share the same widescreen vision, production values
and melodic sensibilities as Sigur Ros, Mum and Rachels.
*Opener 'Falling Horses' is one of the most grandiose, evocative songs
Efterklang have yet created. 'Himmelbjerget', translated as 'sky mountain' in
Danish, refers to innocent memories of a gigantic, fantastical Danish mountain
which they later discovered was just 147 metres tall. 'Hands Playing Butterfly'
is a beautiful, tender, tranquil piece of music. Like some ancient Danish drink
-ing song, 'Towards The Bare Hill' is restless and energetic, while 'Jojo'
originates from a particular fascination with harps and koras, and is a fitting
-ly dramatic end to the disc.

*Under Giant Trees will be released worldwide as a strictly limited edition
embossed, individually numbered CDs in deluxe card packaging with four 'puzzle
cards', and a limited edition individually numbered white vinyl lp.
